Explanation:

Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is a complex of three enzymes that converts pyruvate into acetyl-CoA by a process called pyruvate decarboxylation. ... Pyruvate decarboxylation is also known as the "pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction" because it also involves the oxidation of pyruvate.

Answer:

PDH catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of pyruvate to produce acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), NADH and CO2. PDH facilitates the use of carbohydrate to meet energy demands: when carbohydrate stores are depleted in mammals, PDH activity is downregulated to limit the use of glucose by oxidative phosphorylation
