 * Uhh, OK, in this case, the questionable text appears to have been added by anon in this edit: on 18 may 2006. Next time, however, please do a more careful analysis. I've seen several places, such as WebMD, lift text straight from WP. You can often tell who took what from whom by carefully exploring the page history. Just because you see it elsewhere on the web does not mean that WP is the guilty party. linas 04:10, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Significance as an anaplerotic mechanism?
Hey guys, was wondering if anyone had insight as to why this is regarded as anaplerotic. It does produce OAA, which is obviously part of the TCA cycle, but one of the reactants consumed is alpha-KG, another TCA intermediate. It seems that it doesn't increase the total number of TCA intermediates, just interconverts them, so why is this physiologically useful? - Drlight11 (talk) 08:31, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

Note: What does it means by the term "transaldiminated"? What is the formal definition for the term "transaldimination"? One of the few journals that used the term "transaldimination" is by Moore PS, Dominici P and Voltattorni CB (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8789463). Are there any alternative terms that can explain this concept clearly and precisely? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zyvov (talk • contribs) 02:52, 21 October 2016 (UTC)
