5-oxoproline

5-ox·o·pro·line (Glp),

(ok'kō-prō'lēn),
A keto derivative of proline that is formed nonenzymatically from glutamate, glutamine, and γ-glutamylated peptides; it is also produced by the action of γ-glutamylcyclotransferase; elevated levels of 5-oxoproline are often associated with problems of glutamine or glutathione metabolism.

Moreover, the relative contents of 6PG, 5-oxoproline, and N-acetyllysine increased, while that of phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP) decreased during beef aging (adjusted p<0.05, FDR<0.10; Supplementary Table S1).
Additionally, the levels of 5-oxoproline, methionine and arachidonic acid were also significantly elevated in female rats within exhaustive exercise, suggesting that exhaustive exercise induced diverse responses to oxidative stress in female rats.

The urine gas chromatography/mass spectrometry showed massive excretion of 5-oxoproline. Table 1 shows laboratory findings of the patient on Day of Life #6.
Glutathione metabolites, including multiple gamma-glutamyl amino acids, cysteine-glutathione, and 5-oxoproline, were lower in small dogs.

Earlier studies of the total urinary content of amino acids released by acid hydrolysis (24) indicated an upper limit for peptide excretion of 1 g/day, a large proportion of which might be accounted for by abundant amino acid derivatives such as hippuric acid, 5-oxoproline, and phenylacetylglutamine (25-27).
A pyroglutamic acid (5-oxoproline) level was also markedly elevated (1843 [micro]g/mg of creatinine, 18 times the normal level).

However, two adult subjects with metabolic acidosis, one with an increased anion gap, have been described in whom 5-oxoproline (pyroglutamic acid) was responsible for the acidosis (1, 2).
