Measurements of glycolytic rate and maximum glycolytic capacity using extracellular flux analysis can give crucial information about cell status and phenotype during normal operation, development of pathology, differentiation, and malignant transformation. They are also of great use when assessing the effects of chemical or drug treatments. Here, we experimentally define maximum glycolytic capacity, demonstrate how it differs from glycolytic rate, and provide a protocol for determining the basal glycolytic rate and maximum glycolytic capacity in cells using extracellular flux measurements. The results illustrate the power of extracellular flux analysis to describe the energetics of adherent cells in culture in a fully quantitative way.

Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infections: Exercise Limitation and Rehabilitation.

Article Synopsis
- Patients who have had SARS-CoV-2 infections may experience long-term symptoms known as post-acute sequelae or long COVID, which can affect both those treated at home and in hospitals.
- Common issues among these patients include limits to exercise, resulting from various factors such as heart, lung, and muscle problems, as well as deconditioning, especially in those who were hospitalized for a long time.
- While many individuals with post-COVID syndrome show improvement with standard rehabilitation programs, those experiencing post-exertional malaise require tailored exercise plans and close monitoring to avoid worsening their condition.

Article Synopsis
- Cancer cells alter their metabolism by using glucose to produce lactate, leading to an acidic environment that supports tumor growth; this study focuses on how the protein sLZIP affects this process in prostate cancer.* -
- Depleting sLZIP reduces the expression of key glycolytic genes, particularly PGK1, which negatively impacts the cancer cells' ability to perform glycolysis and affects their growth and energy production.* -
- The research shows that sLZIP is crucial for prostate cancer metabolism, as its absence reduces tumor growth and lactate production, while reintroducing PGK1 can restore aerobic glycolysis in these cells.*

Background: Skeletal muscle is the primary organ involved in insulin-mediated glucose metabolism. Elevated levels of CILP2 are a significant indicator of impaired glucose tolerance and are predominantly expressed in skeletal muscle. It remains unclear whether CILP2 contributes to age-related muscle atrophy through regulating the glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.

Exposures to complex environmental chemical mixtures during pregnancy reach and target the feto-placental unit. This study investigates the influence of environmental chemical mixtures on placental bioenergetics. Recognizing the essential role of the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) in placental development and its role in stimulating glycolysis and mitochondrial respiration in trophoblast cells, we explored the effects of chemicals known to disrupt EGFR signaling on cellular energy production.
