Why is it advantageous for citrate to inhibit the third reaction of glycolysis

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-11-04] [Hit: ]
-Well, I think if someone had TOO much ATP and they didnt need it, it would just go to waste. All I can offer is the probable extra sugar that might come with consumption of something that has citrate in it.......
I know that citrate is a negative regulator of of phosphofructokinase, which means that it slows down the glycolysis pathway. Glycolysis slows when there is increased ATP in the body, but I'm not sure why exactly this is advantageous. Any help would be appreciated!!!
