Published 11/02/2024 {{c1::calcium}} activates PDH phosphatase leading to active E1 which is important in skeletal muscle, as it requires ATP for contraction
Published 11/02/2024 the PDH complex is activated by high levels of {{c1::substrate}} and {{c1::pyruvate }} as they inhibit {{c1::PDH kinase}}
