Formate

Description

Description of formate with associated disease summary

Formate is the anion derived from formic acid which is the simplest carboxylic acid. Formate is an intermediate in normal metabolism and it typically produced as a byproduct in the production of acetate. Recently, Formate was used to separate the patients with smoking-related diseases using NMR-based metabolomics of exhaled breath condensate (EBC) (J Proteome Res. (2013)). Description of disease(s) related to Formate:

Disease summary

Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis (PLCH)

The increase in the level of formate was found in subjects with PLCH, compared to COPD subjects.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)

The decrease in the level of formate was found in subjects with COPD, compared to normal and PLCH subjects.

Summary of extracted biomedical information

The involved biomedical functions are known as Adjudication, Analyte and Ingestion. formate is associated with Glycolates, Oxalates, Fumarates, Organic acid and Sulfuric Acid Esters.
