The metabolic rewiring observed in cancer renders tumor cells dependent of ketone bodies and vulnerable to SCOT inhibition
Abstract:The finding that autoantibodies against glutamic acid decarboxylase that synthesizes GABA, provoke Diabetes type I, draws attention on a GABAergic regulation of the endocrine pancreas suppressing catabolic glucagon release if anabolic insulin is liberated; a GABA deficiency would then impair this exclusion mechanism, allowing a release of both hormones. Moreover, the GABA deficiency alters a mechanism terminating insulin release; an insulin leakage renders differentiated cells gradually resistant to insulin, w… Show more
