ROLE OF PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY DURING GLUCOSE METABOLISM

Role of Pentose Phosphate Pathway during Glucose Metabolism in Cancer Development

Role of Pentose Phosphate Pathway during Glucose Metabolism in Cancer Development  Glucose metabolism in the tumor cells Cancer cells always have a reprogrammed sugar metabolism that differs from the glucose metabolism occurring in normal body cells because they require a large amount of energy for their survival and uncontrolled proliferation. So, to meet their energy …

Can 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) Make Radiation Therapy More Effective

Can 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2DG) Make Radiation Therapy More Effective

Introduction  Cancer cells have many hallmarks that differentiate them from normal cells. One of them is that the malignant cells have a high glucose metabolism rate as compared to those of normal cells. Because tumor cells have increased proliferation ability and growth rate, they need more energy in the form of ATP. Hence, they use more glucose to produce ATP …
