Metabolite adducts are increasingly being recognized as important intermediates in cellular metabolism and as circulating messengers. Methylglyoxal (MG) is a highly reactive metabolite involved in diabetes and aging, via formation of a wide variety of protein adducts. Though new types of protein ...
Metastatic breast tumors must adapt to the metabolic constraints of their target tissues. To understand how tumor metabolism varies across sites, we compared glucose utilization in primary mammary fat pad (MFP) tumors and brain metastases derived from the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231. Tumor...
