Insulin is a hormone that is needed for kreb cycle to function properly. In metabolism of glucose are three steps:
1. glycolysis in which the glucose is converted to pyruvate
2. kreb's cycle - pyruvate is converted to oxaloacetate by pyruvate carboxylase enzyme.
3. Electron transport chain.
In Diabetes when there is deficiency of insulin, kreb's cycle won't work properly and thus the end product of glycolysis i.e pyruvate will be in excess in blood. Excess of pyruvate will lead to deficiency of pyruvate carboxylase which will lead to lactic acidosis. Also in case of anaerobic condition, the pyruvate will be converted to lactate.

What can cause excess kalium in the blood stream?
Type your answer here... what causes high level of kalcium in the blood test?
How does drinking excess water cause hyponatremia?
Drinking excess water sometimes causes hyponatremia, because the absorption of water into the bloodstream can dilute the sodium in the blood.
Disease which causes pain or stiffness in your skeletal joints is referred to as?
May be excess of uric acid in your blood stream.
What is a disorder of the metabolism that causes excess thirst and the production of large amounts of thirst?
Could be low blood sugar or diabetes
How does the body get rid of excess blood or does it need to?
Some of the blood is stored in the spleen to be released in causes of hemorrhage. When the blood cells are produced in excess of their need, the spleen, lymph nodes, bone marrow and the liver, which are collectively called the reticuloendothelial system, destroy them.
What are the causes of excess night fall during sleep?
It doesent i get you blood moving and your wide awake now.....try warm milk
How is glucose finally eliminated from the body?
Glucose is generally not excreted from the body, it can be stored as gyclogen, latter broken down for energy. In which glucose is broken down into pyruvate then into glycolosis for processing Excess glucose can be in the urine if you are diabetic. Glucose can be stored in your liver and in your muscles in the form of glycogen and then released as the cells need glucose for respiration. Glycolysis is the process whereby glucose is cut into two molecules of pyruvate. If oxygen is present, pyruvate will enter the mitochondria and chemical bonds in pyruate will be broken to release energy that will be stored in ATP
Do mosquitoes pee on you while they are feeding on your blood?
Yes, mosquitoes do excrete urine while feeding on blood, but it is not intentional. The process of feeding causes them to take in excess fluids, which they then release as urine.
What is excess carbon in the blood?
and i no how ?
What system removes excess sugar and impurities from the blood?
The excretory system removes excess sugar and impurities from the blood.
What is the medical term meaning hormone disorder causing excess thirst and high blood glucose levels?
The medical term for a hormone disorder causing excess thirst and high blood glucose levels is diabetes mellitus. It is a chronic condition where the body either does not produce enough insulin or does not use it effectively, leading to elevated blood sugar levels and symptoms like increased thirst.
From where does oxaloacetate come during kreb's cycle?
Oxaloacetate is initially produced from pyruvate by pyruvate carboxylase in the mitochondria. It is a critical component of the Krebs cycle as it combines with acetyl-CoA to form citrate, starting the cycle.
