Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of biomedicine, and relates to a new mechanism for promoting the occurrence and development of human tumors, specifically a new mechanism for maintaining the occurrence of human tumors by intracellular high ammonia metabolism. Background technique
[0002] We know that all organisms have the ability to use energy, that is, metabolism. Cancer cells dramatically speed up their metabolic processes, causing the mutated cells to grow wildly. As far back as the early 20th century, scientists have discovered that cancer cells prefer to use glucose as an energy source, even though they have abundant other energy resources. This preference for using glucose as "fuel" is known as the Warburg effect, or glycolysis. The Warburg effect is the metabolic basis of cancer cell growth, development, metastasis and resistance to therapy. Cells use nutrients to generate energy in two ways: mitochondrial metabolism and glycolysis. Norm...
