In the citric acid cycle, also referred to as the Kreb’s Cycle, the enzyme responsible for catalyzing oxidative decarboxylation reactions is α-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. This irreversible oxidative decarboxylation step generates NADH (equivalent to 2.5 ATP) and restores the 4C chain (excluding CoA).
A state of respiratory acidosis is implied, indicated by a decreased blood pH and accelerated breathing in the patient.
