Abstract excerpt
Glycolysis-derived pyruvate is the almost exclusive source of acetyl-CoA for energy production in mitochondrial compartments of all types of neuronal and glial cells. Neurons utilize several times more glucose than glial cells due to their neurotransmitter functions. Cholinergic neurons that are responsible for cognitive functions require additional amounts of acetyl-CoA for acetylcholine-transmitter synthesis in...
