Q&As

How is 2DG administered in clinical settings?

It can be administered orally or intravenously depending on the specific treatment protocol.

Are there any limitations to using 2DG in clinical applications?

Yes, one limitation is its potential impact on healthy cells, as they also rely on glucose metabolism.

Does 2DG have any potential side effects?

While generally well-tolerated, some studies suggest potential side effects such as nausea, dizziness, and hypoglycemia.

Are there any ongoing clinical trials involving 2DG?

Yes, several clinical trials are investigating the use of 2DG in cancer treatment and its potential in combination with other therapies.

How does 2DG affect glucose metabolism?

It competes with glucose and gets phosphorylated but cannot be further metabolized, thereby disrupting the cellular energy production.
