Metabolic alterations in cancer cells include changes in metabolite uptake and preferential use of metabolic pathways differing from normal cell metabolism - for instance, preferential aerobic glycolysis known as the Warburg Effect, where glucose is converted to lactic acid even in the presence of abundant oxygen (Wu and Zhao, 2013)
In the cytosol, acetyl-CoA can also be derived from acetoacetyl-CoA, which can originate from acetoacetate through the sequential actions of acetoacetyl-CoA synthetase (in an ATP-dependent manner) and subsequently the cytosolic isoform of acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase (Fig
