The vitamin Niacin is used to form nicotinamide adenosine dinucleotide, which readily shuttles between its oxidized (NAD+) and reduced (NADH) forms. The latter serves as a cellular equivalent to NaBH4. The essential portions of the structures are shown below. Outline a mechanism for the cellular conversion of pyruvate to lactate. (Note: like NaBH4, NADH cannot reduce carboxylic acid carbonyls).
