I am testing the effects of a new drug, and find that livercells treated with this drug show the following effects:
-Reduced levels of AcCoA in the mitochondria
-Increased rates of gluconeogenesis
-Increased production of lactate
The drug, however, has no effect on Red Blood Cells (RBCs).
Why does the drug not have an effect on Red Blood Cells?What is the drug inhibiting/assisting? What other conclusions canbe made with this information? (Open ended question, there are nowrong answers!)
