Abstract:
Pancreatic carcinoma is currently one of the most intractable malignant tumors of the digestive tract. Studies have found that the occurrence, progression and metastasis of pancreatic carcinoma are closely associated with the tumor's glycolytic pathway, most pancreatic carcinomas show the elevated glycolytic phenotype. To some extent, affecting the glycolytic pathway can influence the energy metabolism of the tumor without affecting the normal cells theoretically. Therefore, glycolytic pathway may become a new target for the treatment of pancreatic carcinoma.

What is Glycolysis?
Cells make energy by breaking down macromolecules. Cellular respiration is the biochemical process that converts "food energy" (from the chemical bonds of macromolecules) into chemical energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). The first step of this tightly regulated and intricate process is glycolysis. The word glycolysis originates from the Latin glyco (sugar) and lysis (breakdown). Glycolysis serves two main intracellular functions: generating ATP and generating...
