Figures & data

Figure 1. Increased glucose level is associated with increased expression of EGF, TNF-α, IL-6, COX-2 and transition of epithelial cells to mesencymal cells – all of which can contribute to increased cellular proliferation and decreased apoptosis.

Figure 2. pH reversal in cancer cells compared with normal cells.

In normal cells intracellular environment is usually more acidic compared with the extracellular, whereas cancer cells have more acidic extracellular environment compared with intracellular.
