The tricаrbоxylic аcid (TCA) cycle is the centrаl hub оf aerоbic metabolism, oxidizing acetyl-CoA to CO₂ while generating reducing equivalents in the form of NADH and FADH₂ for the electron transport chain. The cycle includes key enzymatic steps such as citrate synthase, isocitrate dehydrogenase, α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase, succinate dehydrogenase, and malate dehydrogenase. The activity of the TCA cycle is regulated by substrate availability, energy charge (ATP/ADP ratio), and the redox state (NADH/NAD⁺). Several enzymes require cofactors: α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase is a multi-enzyme complex similar to PDC and requires thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), lipoic acid, CoA, FAD, and NAD⁺. Succinate dehydrogenase is the only enzyme embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane, also functioning as Complex II of the ETC. Certain drugs and toxins interfere with TCA function. Fluoroacetate is metabolized to fluorocitrate, which inhibits aconitase, halting the cycle at citrate. Arsenite inhibits lipoic acid-containing enzymes such as α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Malonate is a competitive inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. Moreover, elevated NADH levels from ethanol metabolism inhibit multiple dehydrogenases, reducing TCA flux and contributing to lactic acidosis. A scientist isolates a compound that mimics fluoroacetate’s inhibitory effect on the TCA cycle. Which of the following outcomes is most likely observed in treated cells?
