During growth on fermentable substrates, such as glucose, pyruvate, which is the end-product of glycolysis, can be used to generate acetyl-CoA in the cytosol via acetaldehyde and acetate, or in mitochondria by direct oxidative decarboxylation.

The role of metabolic remodeling in macrophage polarization and its effect on skeletal muscle regeneration [PDF]
Macrophages are crucial for tissue homeostasis. Based on their activation, they might display classical/M1 or alternative/M2 phenotypes. M1 macrophages produce pro-inflammatory cytokines, reactive oxygen species (ROS), and nitric oxide (NO).

Molecular mechanisms of the non-coenzyme action of thiamin in brain. Biochemical, structural and pathway analysis [PDF]
Thiamin (vitamin B1) is a pharmacological agent boosting central metabolism through the action of the coenzyme thiamin diphosphate (ThDP). However, positive effects, including improved cognition, of high thiamin doses in neurodegeneration may be ...

The use of the ethanol pathway in goldfish Carassius auratus (L.) following anoxia [PDF]
Goldfish (Carassius auratus) were subjected, for a period of 6 weeks, to 2h progressive hypoxia followed by 6h anoxia in closed respirometers at 15 degree C.

Carbohydrates and lipids provide the majority of substrates to fuel mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation. Metabolic inflexibility, defined as an impaired ability to switch between these fuels, is implicated in a number of metabolic diseases.

SLC54 Mitochondrial pyruvate carriers in GtoPdb v.2025.3
The mitochondrial pyruvate carrier (MPC) is composed of SLC54 family members (MPC1 or MPC1L and MPC2) [1, 5, 10], which form functional hetero-dimers [9, 8]. The MPC is expressed in the inner mitochondrial membrane and is responsible for the import of pyruvate into mitochondria [1, 5].

Enhancing mitochondrial pyruvate metabolism ameliorates ischemic reperfusion injury in the heart
The clinical therapy for treating acute myocardial infarction is primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI). PPCI is effective at reperfusing the heart; however, the rapid reintroduction of blood can cause ischemia-reperfusion (I/R).

Characterization of three 2-hydroxy-acid dehydrogenases in the context of a biotechnological approach to short-circuit photorespiration [PDF]
Photorespiration results from the incorporation of oxygen into ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate due to the failure of RuBisCO to properly discriminate between oxygen and carbon dioxide.
