👉 oxaloacetate is a compound that is produced by the process of glycolysis in the mitochondria. It is an organic acid and is used as an energy source for the body during periods of low oxygen levels or when the body needs to produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate) quickly. In the body, oxaloacetate is converted into citrullin by the enzyme citrate synthase, which is part of the Krebs cycle. This conversion can be further enhanced
