Overview of Pyruvate Oxidation and the Citric Acid Cycle

Description
The citric acid cycle is the central oxidative pathway in respiration, the process by which all metabolic fuels—carbohydrate, lipid, and protein—are catabolized in aerobic organisms and tissues.

Most of the energy yield from substrate oxidation in the citric acid cycle comes from subsequent reoxidation of reduced electron carriers.
