Substrate contribution to endogenous glucose production, insulin resistance and protein metablism in non-small cell lung cancer cachexia

The loss of muscle mass and adipose tissue in cancer cachexia may be linked to increased rates of gluconeogenesis (GNG) and altered whole-body protein metabolism. This study measured the fractional contributions (%) of glycogen, glycerol and phophoenolpyruvate (PEP) to endogenous glucose production...
