Application

Sodium oxamate has been used:
  • as one of the variable in flow injection analysis
  • in in vitro angiogenesis assay
  • to confirm the stimulatory role of stearic acid on lactate dehydrogenase mediated lactate production

Biochem/physiol Actions

Sodium oxamate influences the fatty acid metabolism. It might be useful for the treatment of diabetes.

Aerobic Glycolysis and the Warburg Effect

We presents an article about the Warburg effect, and how it is the enhanced conversion of glucose to lactate observed in tumor cells, even in the presence of normal levels of oxygen. Otto Heinrich Warburg demonstrated in 1924 that cancer cells show an increased dependence on glycolysis to meet their energy needs, regardless of whether they were well-oxygenated or not.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
