Impact of infectious disease upon fat metabolism and immune functions

Cancer Research
W R Beisel

Abstract

Abnormalities in lipid metabolism influence immunological competence. Infectious diseases are accompanied by altered lipid metabolism as well as by suppression or stimulation of generalized defensive mechanisms and immune functions. An infectious disease may therefore introduce variables that must be recognized and evaluated during studies aimed at elucidating possible relationships between dietary lipids and the development of cancer.

Cancer Metabolic Reprogramming

Cancer metabolic reprogramming is important for the rapid growth and proliferation of cancer cells. Cancer cells have the ability to change their metabolic demands depending on their environment, regulated by the activation of oncogenes or loss of tumor suppressor genes. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolic reprogramming.
