7.3 Breakdown of Pyruvate

7.3 Breakdown of Pyruvate

• Chapter 7 requires oxygen.
• Some current research is focused on discovering drugs that can prevent cancer growth by blocking the ability of cancer cells tolysis.

• The pyruvate produced in the cytosol is then transported into the mitochondria.

• The net reaction for each pyruvate is that the lungs are tumors.

• It appears bright because it performs high levels ofglucose metabolism in this patient.

• The CoA bladder appear bright because they accumulate FDG.

• FDG is taken up by cells and converted to FDG-phosphate by hexokinase.

• It is not metabolized further.

• Pyruvate is made in the cytosol.

• The internal regions of the Acetyl CoA tumor tend to become hypoxic as the tumor grows.
• The hypoxic state inside a tumor may contribute to the oxidation of Pyruvate.
• It is made.

• This favors glycolysis because it doesn't require a cycle and it enters the citric acid as a means of making ATP.
