    yea I'm confused here as well; if TCA is decreased due to low oxaloacetate levels and there is a buildup of acetyl-CoA, wouldn't that promote gluconeogenesis because acetyl-CoA is a positive regulator of pyruvate carboxylase?

    @@ASAINsensation Acetyle-CoA is indeed positive regulator of pyruvate carboxylase that coverts pyruvate into oxaloacetate. But here's the catch. In 8:09 minutes into this video he explains that pyruvate is also being used to compensate increased NADH by converting it into lactate. So there is not enough pyruvate left to convert into oxaloacetate so that it can participate in gluconeogenesis.

    Something does not make sense here - if alcohol decreases gluconeogenesis and increases ketosis, would that make it a good thing to have during fasting for the sake of weight/fat loss? Since the whole idea of the keto diet is to deplete glucose and forces your body into a keto state so it burns stored fat. I am talking about pure alcohol here like vodka, not beer or wine.

    The fact that it decresease Glucogenesis, it's because you have a high excess of NADH and a low ammount of NAD+. The high ammount of NADH will lead your body to synthesis all your nutrients into fatty acid... even Fruits, Vegetables and Cereals. So even healthy nutrients will be stored in your fat. The role of the NAD+ is to be able to increase your gluconeogenesis so you can transform your sugar into glycogene. Glycogene is needed to allow your cells to work. A low ammount of Glycogene means that your cells will go lazy and their membrane will grow larger because of the synthesis of fatty acid. And voila, you created a situation one can be at risk of gaining weight. Sorry if it's not 100% clear, english is not my first language.

    As gluconeogenesis is not working you’re already at risk of hypoglycaemia, so glycogen here becomes very important. Combine fasting state + alcohol= Severe hypoglycaemia, may even get seizures!
