Thiamine and CO2 Production: The Gatekeeper of Glucose Oxidation
When people think about energy production, they often focus on calories. At the center of this conversion is a process that is often overlooked: oxidative metabolism. This is the pathway where glucose is fully broken down in the mitochondria to produce ATP, carbon dioxide, and water.
