Another use for BCG, potential Diabetes cure?
![BCG treatment switches cellular metabolism from oxidative phosphorylation to early aerobic glycolysis: The systemic lowering of blood sugars in T1Ds after BCG vaccines combined with the increased glucose uptake and purine synthesis is consistent with BCG switching cellular metabolism to early aerobic glycolysis. This hypothesis holds that BCG causes downregulation of the Krebs cycle, accelerated aerobic glycolysis, increased glucose uptake, and shunting of glucose to the Pentose Phosphate Shunt for augmented purine biosynthesis.]()
29th June 2018 Researchers conducted a phase 1 clinical trial where individuals were either vaccinated with two doses of BCG or placebo two weeks apart, followed by the standard of…
