  4. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase PDH • Pyruvate dehydrogenase is the enzyme that converts pyruvate to acetyl-CoA, as well as reduce NAD+ to NADH. • Pyruvate is decarboxylated by PDH, releasing a CO2 molecule, and the remaining two-carbon unit (acetate) is combined with CoA to give Acetyl CoA. • Rate limiting enzyme, determines the rates of glycolysis, lactate production, and carbohydrate supply for mitochondrial oxidation.

  5. Acetyl CoA can also come from Beta Oxidation
