Hemistepsin A suppresses colorectal cancer growth through inhibiting pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase activity

Abstract Most cancer cells primarily produce their energy through a high rate of glycolysis followed by lactic acid fermentation even in the presence of abundant oxygen. Pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) 1, an enzyme responsible for aerobic glycolysis via phosphorylating and inactivating pyruvate...
