What is "Kreb's cycle"?
It is the chemical cycle that your body uses to burn fuel and make energy.
It involves turning citrate into aconitate into alpha ketoglutarate into
fumarate into succinate into malate into pyruvate and that back into citrate
if I remember right.
It is laid out in most biochemstry books. All these things go in a circle
and carbon atoms from fats and sugars are sucked in at this or that point to
be spit out later as carbon dioxide (and the associated hydrogens as water).
This is also called the "citric acid cycle."
A lot of the things they test for in the "organic acid test" tell you whether
one step of this is blocked - since it is a cycle, if one step is blocked it
all goes slow and your cells have less energy to do the biochemistry they
need to do.
