Explain the role of thiamin in energy metabolism
Its coenzyme form TPP (made from thiamin in the liver) is required for your body to make ATP. TPP activates the enzyme needed to convert pyruvate to acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) in all the cells in your body. Consuming enough thiamin is critical to having enough energy for daily activities. TPP is also a mandatory component of an enzyme required in the citric acid cycle and another enzyme that allows amino acids to enter the citric acid cycle.
