Metabolic therapy and bioenergetic analysis: The missing piece of the puzzle
Background: Aberrant metabolism is recognized as a hallmark of cancer, a pillar necessary for cellular proliferation. Regarding bioenergetics (ATP generation), most cancers display a preference not only toward aerobic glycolysis (“Warburg effect”) and glutaminolysis (mitochondrial substrate level-ph...
