text: When metabolites from the TCA cycle or glutamate are used as a precursor for glyceroneogenesis, the regulator in the TCA cycle can also cause fluctuations in the levels of products formed by glyceroneogenesis. Regulation of the TCA cycle is mainly determined by product inhibition and substrate availability. The TCA cycle will slow down when the environment contains excess product, or deficiency of the substrate such as ADP and NAD+.
