  • Title: Carbohydrate metabolism in cancer cachexia.
    Author: Holroyde CP, Reichard GA.
    Journal: Cancer Treat Rep; 1981; 65 Suppl 5():55-9. PubMed ID: 6809325.
    Abstract:
    A profound loss of body mass and energy reserves is a characteristic feature of cancer cachexia. Because glucose is a major energy-yielding fuel, abnormalities of carbohydrate metabolism may prove to be important in the development or end-result of this common syndrome. In this paper, we review the known alterations of glucose and lactate metabolism that occur in patients with malignant tumors.
