The Regulatory Effects of Acetyl-CoA Distribution in the Healthy and Diseased Brain

The Regulatory Effects of Acetyl-CoA Distribution in the Healthy and Diseased Brain

Brain neurons, to support their neurotransmitter functions, require a several times higher supply of glucose than non-excitable cells. Pyruvate, the end product of glycolysis, through pyruvate dehydrogenase complex reaction, is a principal source of acetyl-CoA, which is a direct energy substrate in...
