Lets see...

1. Acetyl CoA

2. OAA

3. Lactate

4. Alanine

5. Alpha Ketoglutarate

I don't rem the cofactors. I think couple of them are: Thiamine & Lipioc acid

3. Lactate - Lactate Dehydrogenase

4. Alanine -Alt

5. Alpha Ketoglutarate - Pyruvate Dehydrogenase complex??

cofactors for pyruvate dehydrogenase-

vitamin B1-B5

B1 - Thiamine -TPP

B2 Riboflavin - FAD

B3 Niacin - NAD
