Beta-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB) can influence the energetic phenotype of breast cancer cells, but does not impact their proliferation and the response to chemotherapy or radiation

@DominicDAgosti2 If ketones can switch breast cancer cells to oxidative metabolism (https://t.co/3LW8oi6GJu), can you starve them by then *restricting* someone's oxygen supply?

Ketones found to not prevent proliferation of breast cancer: https://t.co/3LW8oi6GJu https://t.co/9CWWOLSE7W

In a different study: Not all cancers response the same to the Warburg Effect and Ketones. In cells, ketones didn't interfere with turnover of glucose & lactate, neither affected cancer cell proliferation, or their sensitivity to chemo or radiation. h

Also on ketones and cancer. It’s not a silver bullet, my friend. Certainly not saying there is no promise for the use of ketosis as an adjunct to several types of cancer, but... https://t.co/GWkwMiEleh https://t.co/Yyl7ZuLAv9 https://t.co/CRjo1KSUz8 ht
