Elevated can be used to

Diagnose myocardial infarction
Determine extent of muscular disease
Evaluate cause of chest pain
Help discover carriers of muscular dystrophy

20

30
Q

Q: What are the 5 steps of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex?

A

A: 1. Pyruvate — decarboxylated —> hydroxyethyl TPP

  1. Oxidation and transfer to lipoamide to give acetyloamide
