We report an immunohistochemical study of the mitochondrial a-ketoglutdrdte dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC) in the substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease. The KGDHC, the three enzyme complex catalyzing the oxidation of a-ketoglutarate to succinate through succinic semialdehyde, is the rate-regulating
## Abstract The activity of the α‐ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC), a mitochondrial enzyme complex that mediates the oxidative decarboxylation of α‐ketoglutarate in the TCA cycle, is reduced in Alzheimer's disease. We investigated the metabolic effects of a partial KGDHC activity reducti
The activity of a key mitochondrial enzyme, the ␣-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (KGDHC), declines in the brains of patients with neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, as well as in thiamine-deficient (TD) animals. The decreased activity often occurs without a reduction in enz
