Atoms in triglycerides could be used in the synthesis of DNA. Acetyl-CoA is the metabolic intermediate involved in Citric acid cycle pathway which functions as crossover points between triglycerides and DNA.
The Citric acid cycle also known as Krebs cycle or TCA cycle (tricarboxylic acid cycle) involves a series of enzyme-catalyzed reactions which occur in the mitochondrial matrix. In this pathway, acetyl-CoA is oxidized to form carbon dioxide and the coenzymes are reduced, which generate ATP in the electron transport chain.
Acetyl-CoA (acetyl coenzyme A) takes part in many biochemical reactions linked with protein, carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Its main role is to deliver the acetyl group to the Citric acid cycle (Krebs cycle) to be oxidized for energy production.
