Cell metabolomics: differential metabolism of glucose and fructose in pancreatic cancer

Heaney T

Metabolism comprises anabolic (converting small molecules into big ones) and catabolic processes (converting food into useful energy), predicts the functional state of a cell, and analyzes the levels of the end products (metabolites) of anabolism and catabolism. Metabolic profiling using stable isotope tracer technology ([U-13C6] sugars) allows the measurement of the changing pattern of distribution of 13C carbons from [U-13C6</...
