Question

Fatty acid oxidation enter citric acid cycle only if fat and carbohydrate are balqnced

Answer 1

The acetyl CoA formed in fatty acid oxidation enters the citric acid cycle only if fat and carbohydrate degradation are appropriately balanced. ... In fasting or diabetes, oxaloacetate is consumed to form glucose by the gluconeogenic pathway (Section 16.3.2) and hence is unavailable for condensation with acetyl CoA.
