The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle, plays a key role in the organism’s metabolism process.
The citric acid cycle begins with acetyl-CoA, which is formed by the oxidation of fatty acids in a state of ketosis.
Acetyl-CoA is converted into citrate, which then undergoes a series of reactions, producing NADH and FADH2, necessary for ATP synthesis.
When following a ketogenic diet, the regulation of the citric acid cycle may change, affecting the oxidation process of fatty acids and the production of ketone bodies.
