How Would a High NADH to NAD⁺ Ratio Be Expected

question 81

Multiple Choice

How would a high NADH to NAD⁺ ratio be expected to affect the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction?

• A) The pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase enzyme activity would increase, resulting in an increase in pyruvate dehydrogenase activity.
• B) The last step of the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction is blocked, resulting in a decrease in activity.
• C) The E1 subunit is phosphorylated by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase, and the catalytic activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase decreases.
• D) The pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase-1 enzyme would increase, resulting in pyruvate dehydrogenase activation at an accelerated rate.
