in other words High ratio of energy to the nadh when you're very very oxidized what favors the activity of pyruvite the hydrogenase so you will not be accumulating pyruvate you will not be generating lactate but if you're eating a lot of fat the NAD to the nadh ratio drops and then the buildup starts to happen and it basically pyruvate accumulates lactic accumulates and then the Krebs cycle is basically Krebs cycle is working because it's accepting acetyl-coa from the beta oxidation right because the that's how the fatty acids get oxidized but the the glucose that you're eating you cannot get metabolized for that reason
