Pyruvate oxidation steps
Pyruvate oxidation steps

1. CO2 is removed
2. NAD+ is reduced to NADH and the 2-carbon compound becomes acetic acid
3. Coenzyme A (CoA) attaches to acetic acid to form acetyl-CoA.

Acetyl-CoA
Lipids and Proteins are turned into Acetyl-CoA, which Goes to the Krebs Cycle to make ATP if the body needs energy, if the body **does not** need energy, Acetyl-CoA is turned into fat.
