Decreased activity of one or more subunits of PDH complex (the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, the PDH complex, lactate dehydrogenase) directly causes Pyruvate (pyruvate, lactate, CO2) to accumulate. The accumulation of this metabolite leads to increased production of lactate dehydrogenase_ (the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, the PDH complex, lactate dehydrogenase) which then converts pyruvate to lactate (pyruvate to lactate, lactate to pyruvate, pyruvate to acetyl CoA, alpha-ketoglutarate to succinyl CoA).
What is pyruvate?
The simplest alpha-keto acid is pyruvic acid, which has a carboxylic acid and a ketone functional group. The conjugate base pyruvate, CH3COCOO, is a metabolic intermediary found in many different cell-wide metabolic pathways.
