Abstract
Tumour-cell mitochondria contain a pyruvate-transporting system exhibiting the same general properties as those described in rat liver mitochondria. The Km for net pyruvate uptake in tumour-cell mitochondria is practically similar to that measured in rat liver mitochondria but the V is lower. This difference is also shown by swelling experiments. The possible implication of these observations in the context of lactate accumulation in tumour-cell is discussed.Entities:
