“…Interestingly, trypanosomes can also utilize glycerol as a carbon source (Ryley, 1956). Recently, it was demonstrated that cultured procyclic and bloodstream trypanosomes grown in elevated glycerol with low levels of glucose can proliferate by using glycerol for gluconeogenesis (Allmann et al, 2021; Bringaud et al, 2021; Kovarova et al, 2018; Pineda et al, 2018; Wargnies et al, 2018). Glycerol oxidation is entirely dependent on the activity of the mitochondrial glycerol‐3‐phosphate dehydrogenase (Pineda et al, 2018).…”

“…These specialized organelles contain enzymes responsible for the initial six steps of glycolysis and two enzymes responsible for glycerol metabolism: NAD-dependent glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and glycerol kinase (GK) (Maugeri et al, 2011;Taylor & Gutteridge, 1987;Quin ˜ones et al, 2020). Glycerol is an important source of metabolic carbon (Bringaud et al, 2006(Bringaud et al, , 2021Brisson et al, 2001). Moreover, Trypanosoma utilize both glucose and glycerol as sources of energy.…”

“…Moreover, Trypanosoma utilize both glucose and glycerol as sources of energy. Glycerol is especially important under anaerobic conditions (Bringaud et al, 2006(Bringaud et al, , 2021 and when glucose is poorly available (Marshall, 1948), for instance in adipose tissue, which is a recently described reservoir of the parasite (Pineda et al, 2018;Nagajyothi et al, 2012;Machado et al, 2021;Combs et al, 2005). Consequently, trypanosomal GK constitutes a potential target which, however, still requires chemical validation.…”
