Description
PM, CI-linked pathway: Pyruvate (P) is oxidatively decarboxylated to acetyl-CoA and CO2, yielding NADH catalyzed by pyruvate dehydrogenase. Malate (M) is oxidized to oxaloacetate by mt-malate dehydrogenase located in the mitochondrial matrix. Condensation of oxaloacate with acetyl-CoA yields citrate (citrate synthase). 2-oxoglutarate (Ξ±-ketoglutarate) is formed from isocitrate (isocitrate dehydrogenase).

Discussion
- Pyruvate alone is not an ETS competent substrate state in most mt-preparations, since acetyl-CoA accumulates without the co-substrate (oxaloacetate) of citrate synthase.
- Malate Alone is not an ETS competent substrate state in many mt-preparations, since oxaloacetate accumulates without the co-substrate (acetyl-CoA) of citrate synthase.
