Mitochondrion

Schematic diagram of the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDC) protein complex. Responsible for the transition between the metabolic pathways for the breakdown of sucralose and the production of energy in the mitochondrion ("Krebs cycle"). On the left: the classic move as it was known until now with the addition of the research hypothesis (marked with a question mark), on the right: the move as observed in transgenic mice without enzymes from the PDK family. The backup plan revealed in the study is highlighted with an exclamation mark
