Acetyl CoA aids the synthesis of fatty acids, tryglycerides and cholesterol. Oxaloacetate, after entering the gluconeogenic pathway, enhances synthesis of glucose and glycogen. HCA is known to act as a competitive inhibitor for adenosine triphosphate-citrate and helps to suppress food intake due to anorectic effect.
