Fatty Acids in Energy Metabolism of the Central Nervous System
Figure 5
Simultaneous operation of aerobic glycolysis and the fatty acids supported tricarboxylic acid cycle and oxidative phosphorylation in the astrocyte. Enzymes: LDH: lactate dehydrogenase, APC: ATP-dependent pyruvate carboxylase, 1–9: the enzymes of the TCA cycle, which operates clockwise, GLDH: glutamate dehydrogenase, and GS: glutamine synthetase.
