It covers the conversion of pyruvate to lactate by lactate dehydrogenase, highlighting its importance in regenerating NAD??? for glycolysis in anaerobic conditions. The document also explores ethanol fermentation in yeast, detailing the roles of pyruvate decarboxylase and alcohol dehydrogenase.

While exposure has dropped since the mid-80s, trace levels persist in human blood. Notably, some research suggests TCDD might offer protective effects against certain diseases, as it can suppress allergic encephalomyelitis in mice.
