“…A high rate of glycolysis is generally characteristic of tumor cells (Warburg, 1926) and normal cells with proliferative potential (Gregg, 1972;Roos and Loos, 1973;Weinhouse, 1976;Donnelly and Scheffler, 1976;Pederson, 1978;Hume et al, 1978). Much effort has been directed toward implication of the high flux of glucose to lactate in processes essential to cell proliferation (Warburg, 1926;Papaconstantinou et al, 1963;Gregg, 1972;Singh et al, 1974a,b;Wenner, 1975;Racker, 1976;Sols, 1976;Wang et aI., 1976;Weinhouse, 1976;Fagan and Racker, 1978;Hume et al, 1978;Lazo and Sols, 1980;Eigenbrodt and Glossmann, 1980).…”
