Question:

During dietary restriction, amino acids may be used as metabolic fuels. In this process, glutamate is converted by glutamate dehydrogenase to α-ketoglutarate. α-Ketoglutarate binds to the β subunit of ATP synthase and inhibits its catalytic activity. Predict the effect of increased α-ketoglutarate on oxygen consumption and the production of reactive oxygen species.
