Type:
Fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), when labeled with the positron-emitting isotope fluorine-18 (F-18), is commonly referred to as F‑FDG. It is one of the most widely used radiotracers in positron emission tomography (PET) imaging, particularly in oncology (cancer imaging).
-FDG is an analog of glucose. Cancer cells often exhibit increased glucose metabolism compared to normal cells—a phenomenon known as the "Warburg effect." Because of this, they take up more FDG.

297- ALA,    Insights on the Use of α-Lipoic Acid for Therapeutic Purposes
- Review, BC, SkBr3 - Review, neuroblastoma, SK-N-SH - Review, AD, NA
PDH↑, ALA is capable of activating pyruvate dehydrogenase in tumor cells.
TumCG↓, ALA also significantly inhibited tumor growth in mouse xenograft model using BCPAP and FTC-133 cells
ROS↑, ALA is able to generate ROS, which promote ALA-dependent cell death in lung cancer [75], breast cancer [76] and colon cancer
AMPK↑,
EGR4↓,
Half-Life↓, Data suggests that ALA has a short half-life and bioavailability (about 30%)
BioAv↝,
*GSH↑, Moreover, it is able to increase the glutathione levels inside the cells, that chelate and excrete a wide variety of toxins, especially toxic metals from the body
*IronCh↑, The existence of thiol groups in ALA is responsible for its metal chelating abilities [14,35].
*ROS↓, ALA exerts a direct impact in oxidative stress reduction
*antiOx↑, ALA is being referred as the universal antioxidant
*neuroP↑, ALA has neuroprotective effects on Aβ-mediated cytotoxicity
*Ach↑, ALA show anti-dementia or anti-AD properties by increasing acetylcholine (ACh) production through activation of choline acetyltransferase, which increases glucose absorption
*lipid-P↓, ALA has multiple and complex effects in this way, namely scavenging ROS, transition metal ions, increasing the levels of reduced glutathione [59,63], scavenging of lipid peroxidation products
*IL1β↓, ALA downregulated the levels of the inflammatory cytokines IL-1B and IL-6 in SK-N-BE human neuroblastoma cells
*IL6↓,
TumCP↓, ALA inhibited cell proliferation, [18F]-FDG uptake and lactate formation and increased apoptosis in neuroblastoma cell lines Kelly, SK-N-SH, Neuro-2a and in the breast cancer cell line SkBr3.
FDG↓,
Apoptosis↑,
AMPK↑, ALA suppressed thyroid cancer cell proliferation and growth through activation of AMPK and subsequent down-regulation of mTOR-S6 signaling pathway in BCPAP, HTH-83, CAL-62 and FTC-133 cells lines.
mTOR↓,
EGFR↓, ALA inhibited cell proliferation through Grb2-mediated EGFR down-regulation
TumCI↓, ALA inhibited metastatic breast cancer cells migration and invasion, partly through ERK1/2 and AKT signaling
TumCMig↓,
*memory↑, Alzheimer’s Disease: ALA led to a marked improvement in learning and memory retention
*BioAv↑, Since ALA is poorly soluble, lecithin has been used as an amphiphilic matrix to enhance its bioavailability.
*BioAv↝, ALA were found to be considerably higher in adults with mean age greater than 75 years as compared to young adults between the ages of 18 and 45 years.
*other↓, ALA treatment has been recently studied by some clinical trials to explain its efficacy in preventing miscarriage
*other↝, 1800 mg of ALA or placebo were administrated orally every day, except during the period 2 days before to 4 days after administration of each dose of platinum to avoid potential interference with platinum’s antitumor effects
*Half-Life↓, Data shows a short half-life and bioavailability of about 30% of ALA due to mechanisms involving hepatic degradation, reduced ALA solubility as well as instability in the stomach.
*BioAv↑, ALA bioavailability is greatly reduced after food intake and it has been recommended that ALA should be admitted at least 2 h after eating or if taken before; meal should be taken at least 30 min after ALA administration
*ChAT↑, ALA show anti-dementia or anti-AD properties by increasing acetylcholine (ACh) production through activation of choline acetyltransferase, which increases glucose absorption
*GlucoseCon↑,

3064- RES,    Resveratrol Suppresses Cancer Cell Glucose Uptake by Targeting Reactive Oxygen Species–Mediated Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α Activation
- in-vitro, CRC, HT-29 - in-vitro, BC, T47D - in-vitro, Lung, LLC1
FDG↓, Resveratrol mildly decreased cell content and more pronouncedly suppressed 18F-FDG uptake in Lewis lung carcinoma, HT-29 colon, and T47D breast cancer cells.
ROS↓, Resveratrol also decreased intracellular ROS in patterns that closely paralleled 18F-FDG uptake.
Hif1a↓, HIF-1α protein was markedly reduced by resveratrol,
GLUT1↓, 50uM, Resveratrol Inhibits Glut-1 Expression and Lactate Production
lactateProd↓,
