Can the Effects of Toxins on the Citric Acid Cycle Be Mitigated?
Strategies to mitigate the effects of toxins on the cycle include:
- Chelation Therapy: For heavy metal poisoning, chelating agents can help remove metals from the body, potentially restoring enzyme function. - Supportive Care: Providing alternative energy sources, such as ketone bodies, can help bypass some of the blockages in the cycle. - Antioxidants: These can help reduce oxidative stress caused by disruptions in the cycle.
