Question
Chapter 17, Problem 17E
Summary Introduction
To determine: .Why a deficiency of pyruvate carboxylase leads to lactic acidosis.
Concept introduction: Citric acid cycle is the major source of free energy and its intermediates must be in adequate quantity to run without interruption. Pyruvate carboxylase converts pyruvate into oxaloacetate, which is used in the citric acid cycle.
