Solution Preview

You were right, the formation of pyruvate involves the reduction of coenzyme NAD to NAD2H. The other stages of glucose oxidation where NAD2H are formed are the following:

1. At the stage where the citric acid is oxidized in a series of reactions, by losing hydrogens and electrons to NAD, and oxalosuccinic is formed:
Citric + NAD, "forming" Oxalosuccinic + NAD2H
2. At the stage where alpha-ketoglutaric ...
