Treatment of cells with 6-aminonicotinamide caused an accumulation of 6-phosphogluconate, indicating an inhibition of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase.
Rotenone, which is known to inhibit electron transport in the respiratory chain, blocked glucose breakdown at the site of pyruvate dehydrogenase.

Furthermore, inhibition of mitochondrial oxidation and fatty acid synthesis in small cells by rotenone led to a secondary inhibition of pentose shunt activity indicating a link between these two pathways.

O2- production in J774.16 cells was inhibited by some agents known to block mitochondrial electron transport before coenzyme Q, such as rotenone and tetrathiafulvalene, whereas antimycin A enhanced O2- production.
