The results of the subject's blood tests showed elevated levels
of lactate, pyruvate, and lactate dehydrogenase. Describe the most
likely explanation of these test results by completing the

Decreased activity of one or more subunits of ____ (the
alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex, the PDH complex, lactate
dehydrogenase) directly causes ____ (pyruvate, lactate, CO2) to
accumulate. The accumulation of this metabolite leads to increased
production of ____ (the alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex,
the PDH complex, lactate dehydrogenase) which then converts ____
(pyruvate...
