And so, since Acetyl-CoA is built in the degradation of glucose, a glycolytic pathway, from pure beta or in the catabolism of branched amino acids, as well as a final product of beta-oxidation. All major nutrients are actually supplying Acetyl-CoA as an end product. And taking away glucose or amino acids or fatty acids will cause a reduction in the Acetyl-CoA pool that is important to note, it is a cytosolic acid Acetyl-Co-A pool that is accounting for autophagy regulation.
