How does disruption in pyruvate metabolism affect human health?
Answered
Disruption in pyruvate metabolism can lead to mild to severe diseases, particularly affecting tissues with high ATP demand such as the nervous system. Aberrant pyruvate metabolism is implicated in conditions like cancer, heart failure, and neurodegeneration due to mutations in genes encoding enzymes that regulate this pathway.
