There is a continuous influx (pouring into) and a continuous efflux (removal) of4-carbon units from the TCA cycle. *Catabolic role(energy production): *Glucose -------- > pyruvate ------- > Acetyl CoA ------> enters into TCA cycle *Oxaloacetate --------> precursor of aspartate *Glutamate ------ > alpha ketoglutarate *Anabolic role: *Citrate ------->cholesterol and fatty acid synthesis *Alpha ketoglutarate ------> glutamuc acid –---> GABA *Succinyl CoA -------- >heme synthesis and ketolysis *Malate / oxaloacetate ----------> gluconeogenesis tca_cycle_is_amphibolic_in_nature.txt Last modified: 2025/12/30 05:55by admin
