Can you tell me is increasing glycolysis better for tumors in the liver?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: All tumors undergo the Warburg cycle of metabolic activity.The Warburg effect is defined by an increased utilization of glucose via glycolysis as a cellular resource, and is a common phenotype of cancerous cells. The characteristic enhanced glucose uptake observed in cancer cells has been used to detect and image cancers via PET.
