Abstract

Among the earliest known biochemical differences between normal and neoplastic tissues were the lowered oxygen uptake and high lactate formation of some neoplastic tissues compared to most normal tissues. l The enzymatic shunt of pyruvate to lactate with resultant regeneration of DPNt from DPNH is probably necessary for oxidative anabolism in an oxygen-deficient cell. Since this function of LDH is probably unessential for most, if not all, ...
