Figure 5.

The tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA) subsystem for the production of glutamate from pyruvate. Three major paths relating output to input are shown. P1 (in blue) is series of reaction that convert pyruvate to glutamate through the pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) pathway. The product from each path has a specific “mass” signature when specific labeled precursor is used.
