Propionic acid derivatives - what does this mean

Propionic acid derivatives are a class of organic compounds that are formed when propionic acid is reacted with an alcohol. these derivatives can cause a wide range of health issues, including skin irritation, eye irritation, respiratory irritation, and gastrointestinal distress. in some cases, long-term exposure to these compounds can lead to liver and kidney damage.

What happens during the disease - propionic acid derivatives

Propionic acid derivatives are a group of organic compounds that can produce a range of systemic effects when ingested. the mechanism of action is believed to be the inhibition of the enzyme propionyl-coa carboxylase, which leads to an accumulation of propionyl-coa and an increase in the level of propionic acid in the body. this can lead to a variety of metabolic disturbances, including an increase in lactic acid levels, a decrease in citric acid cycle intermediates, and an increase in the production of fatty acids. these metabolic disturbances can lead to symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
