the glucose-induced decrease of cellular respiratory flux. This effect was observed in tumor
cells and was not detected in most non-tumor cells. A number of hypotheses on the
mechanism underlying the Crabtree effect have been formulated. However, to this day, no
consensual mechanism for this effect has been described. In a previous study on isolated
mitochondria, we have proposed that fructose-1, 6-bisphosphate (F1, 6bP), which inhibits …
Evidence for the Crabtree effect was first reported by H. Crabtree in 1929 and is defined as
the glucose-induced decrease of cellular respiratory flux. This effect was observed in tumor
cells and was not detected in most non-tumor cells. A number of hypotheses on the
mechanism underlying the Crabtree effect have been formulated. However, to this day, no
consensual mechanism for this effect has been described. In a previous study on isolated
