Chem 352, Lecture 10, Part II - Citric Acid Cycle 47 13.9 The Glyoxylate Cycle: An Anabolic Variant of the Citric Acid Cycle The Glyoxylate Cycle Plants and some bacteria are able to convert fat to . • Humans and other animals, unfortunately, are unable to do this. • This is allows seeds, when they germinate, to quickly mobilize energy that is stored as fat into that then provide both energy and raw materials to sustain the rapidly growing seedling.

Chem 352, Lecture 10, Part II - Citric Acid Cycle 50 The Glyoxylate Cycle The reasons animals cannot convert fats to carbohydrate include • When fats are degraded they produce glycerol and acetyl-CoA - While the little bit of glycerol produced can be converted carbohydrates by gluconeogenesis, the bulk of the carbon is present as acetyl-CoA cannot.

Chem 352, Lecture 10, Part II - Citric Acid Cycle 50 The Glyoxylate Cycle The reasons animals cannot convert fats to carbohydrate include • When fats are degraded they produce glycerol and acetyl-CoA - While the little bit of glycerol produced can be converted carbohydrates by gluconeogenesis, the bulk of the carbon is present as acetyl-CoA cannot. • This is because - The pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction is irreversible. - The equivalent of the two carbons that enter the citric acid cycle as acetyl-CoA, leave as CO2 before getting to oxaloacetate, which can enter gluconeogenesis.
