Abstract
Cancer is the second leading cause of mortality worldwide. The heightened nutrient uptake, particularly glucose, and elevated glycolysis observed in rapidly proliferating tumor cells highlight the potential targeting of energy metabolism pathways for the treatment of cancer. Numerous studies and clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of nutritional therapy in mitigating the adverse effects of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, enhancing treatment outcomes, prolonging survival, and improving the overall quality of life of patients. This review article comprehensively examines nutritional therapy strategies that specifically address tumor energy metabolism. Moreover, it explores the intricate interplay between energy metabolism and the gut microbiota in the context of nutritional therapy. The findings aim to provide valuable insights for future clinical research endeavors in this field.
期刊介绍:
Current Drug Metabolism aims to cover all the latest and outstanding developments in drug metabolism, pharmacokinetics, and drug disposition. The journal serves as an international forum for the publication of full-length/mini review, research articles and guest edited issues in drug metabolism. Current Drug Metabolism is an essential journal for academic, clinical, government and pharmaceutical scientists who wish to be kept informed and up-to-date with the most important developments. The journal covers the following general topic areas: pharmaceutics, pharmacokinetics, toxicology, and most importantly drug metabolism.
More specifically, in vitro and in vivo drug metabolism of phase I and phase II enzymes or metabolic pathways; drug-drug interactions and enzyme kinetics; pharmacokinetics, pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic modeling, and toxicokinetics; interspecies differences in metabolism or pharmacokinetics, species scaling and extrapolations; drug transporters; target organ toxicity and interindividual variability in drug exposure-response; extrahepatic metabolism; bioactivation, reactive metabolites, and developments for the identification of drug metabolites. Preclinical and clinical reviews describing the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics of marketed drugs or drug classes.
