Abstract:Proliferating cancer cells exhibit an elevated rate of glucose consumption and lactate excretion, a phenomenon described as the “Warburg effect”. Although increased glycolytic flux in proliferating cells is well established, metabolic changes associated with mitochondria still remain elusive. Here, using various inducible quiescence models and mass spectrometry-based metabolomics, we directly compared mitochondrial respiration and TCA cycle activity from the same cells in the proliferative and quiescent states… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
