Summary Introduction

To review:

The reason due to which oxaloacetate is not produced from acetyl-CoA (coenzyme A) during aerobic exercise, and the source of oxaloacetate during aerobic activity.

Introduction:

During aerobic exercise, a large amount of energy is used. Thus, a large amount of oxaloacetate is required by the body to produce energy. Oxaloacetate can be produced from acetyl-CoA, and the reaction is catalyzed by pyruvate carboxylase. However, during exercise, acetyl-CoA cannot be used to produce oxaloacetate.
