Study Explores Changes in Liver Cancer Cell Metabolism in Response to Galactose Sugar

Article title: Global changes to HepG2 cell metabolism in response to galactose treatment

Authors: Robert A. Skolik, Jason Solocinski, Mary E. Konkle, Nilay Chakraborty, Michael A. Menze

From the authors: “Here we demonstrate that the metabolic poise in tumor-derived HepG2 cells can be shifted to reflect conditions reminiscent of a primary hepatocyte by replacing glucose with galactose in the culture medium.”
