Figure 3. Glycolysis inhibitors decrease cancer cells viability. A. Pyruvate, 3-bromopyruvate and lactate are structural analogs. Lactate-based benefits to cancer cells include enhancing angiogenesis, metastasis, invasion, proliferation, migration, chemoresistance, radioresistance and acidic tumor microenvironment. B. Effects of serial citrate concentrations on viability of human glioblastoma cells (U373MG)
