redox equivalents (NADPH), and macromolecules (such as lipids) [11]. The altered energy metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer cells. It is characterized by a preference for aerobic glycolysis—a process where glucose is converted to pyruvate and subsequently lactic acid—as...
Gluconeogenesis is a metabolic process wherein glucose is generated from non-carbohydrate precursors, e.g. pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, and glucogenic amino acids. (It seems like the reverse of glycolysis in a way that glucose is converted into pyruvate whereas, in gluconeogenesis, pyruvate is con...
which GLUT4 is considered as the major player of insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in the skeletal muscle [30]. Inside a myocyte, glucose is converted into pyruvate in glycolysis that includes key enzymes such as hexokinase II (HK II), 6...
Glycolysis is the metabolic process by which glucose is converted to pyruvate, with the free energy created being used to produce high-energy compounds such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The first step in glycolysis is mediated by the enzyme hexokinase, which also phosphorylates deoxyglucose and...
After glucose enters normal cells, it is converted into pyruvate through glycolysis. Subsequently, pyruvate is transformed into acetyl-CoA, which is used as substrate in mitochondria to generate ATP. Tumor cells exhibit an altered metabolism. Increased need for glycolysis, known as Warburg effect, ...
Under aerobic condition, Most of the glucose is first converted to pyruvate via glycolysis in the cytosol. Most pyruvate are mostly processed to lactate via glycolytic pyruvate even in the presence of oxygen, and only a small portion of pyruvates enters the mitochondria to produce CO2 by ...
Here, Sheng-Cai Lin and colleagues show that this is not the case, and that glucose starvation activates AMPK via a different route, in an AMP/ADP-independent manner. During glycolysis, glucose is converted to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate (FBP), which is then processed by FBP aldolases. The ...
