It explains the metabolic role of the CAC as a hub that oxidizes acetyl-CoA to CO??? and generates reducing equivalents for ATP production, with emphasis on its integration with carbohydrate, lipid, and protein metabolism. The page discusses enzyme mechanisms and regulation, highlighting the cycle's cyclic structure for sustainable metabolic flux.
