why does acetyl CoA, a product of fatty acid catabolism, influence the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex(PDH), a control point in carbohydrate catabolism?
Added by Ivan B.
Step 1
Acetyl CoA is a central metabolite that serves as a key substrate for the citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) and is produced from the breakdown of fatty acids, carbohydrates, and amino acids. Show more…

Why is acetyl CoA an especially appropriate activator for pyruvate carboxylase?
Biochemistry Regulation Question. Explain why it makes metabolic sense for acetyl-CoA, which is not a substrate for gluconeogenesis, to activate pyruvate carboxylase.

Acetyl CoA is one product of b-oxidation of fatty acids. Does an increase in acetyl CoA from oxidation in a liver cell lead to an increase in citrate when blood glucose is <5mM? Explain your reasoning.
