Lung cancer tumours have been found to 'feed' off sugar, according to a new study examining the link between diet and lung ...

Lung tumours grew when scientists fed mice a "Western diet" high in fat and fructose, a fruit sugar. High-fructose corn syrup ...

This deadly duo triggers the buildup of glycogen, the stored form of glucose ... and director of the UF Center for Advanced Spatial Biomolecule Research, who worked on the study.

The analysis revealed a correlation between glycogen accumulation and poorer tumor outcomes. To investigate further, the research team used a high-content spatial metabolomics platform developed by ...

The findings emerged from experiments where mice fed a "Western diet" high in fat and fructose showed increased lung tumour growth. High-fructose corn syrup is a ubiquitous additive in processed foods ...

Western diet, often high in salt, sugar and fat, has the potential to raise the risk of cancer in the lungs, finds a study.

Methods: Glycogen content and activity of muscle enzymes with regulatory functions in glycogen synthesis were examined. Results: Testosterone treatment increased glycogen content of extensor digitorum ...

A Western diet high in fat and fructose elevates glycogen levels ... professor and director of the UF Center for Advanced Spatial Biomolecule Research. “Diseases like pancreatic cancer or ...

For cancers of organs like the liver, the long-term impact of our diet has been well studied-so much so that we have guidance ...
