General description

2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose is non-toxic and a structural analog of glucose, significantly inhibiting glycosylation. As a glucose analog, uptake of 2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose is rapid in brain and heart cells.

2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose can be taken up by cells but does not undergo metabolic glycolysis.

Application

2-Fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose is used as a tracer for rapid tumor detection. It is used as a glucose analog to study glucose uptake in mice with radiation and burn injuries. Oncology therapy studies use FDG in combination with PET (Positron Emission Topography)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Glucose analog that inhibits cellular glycosylation.

[18F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG PET) is considered a valuable tool in the diagnosis and staging of cancer. In addition, it seems promising as a technique to monitor response to therapy. Progress is hampered, however, by the fact that various

The number of studies in the literature involving quantification of the metabolic heterogeneity seen in (18)F-FDG PET images has increased sharply over recent years. We hypothesized that inclusion of very small regions of interest as unique data points will have

Tunicamycin, 2-deoxy-D-glucose and 2-deoxy-2-fluoro-D-glucose inhibit dimethyl sulfoxide-induced differentiation of Friend cells. This inhibition, characterized by inhibition of hemoglobin synthesis, is accompanied by a specific inhibition of protein glycosylation. The results of cloning experiments indicate that this inhibition specifically affects cells

Indeterminate results at fine-needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) of thyroid nodules pose a clinical dilemma, because only 20% to 30% of patients suffer from malignancy. Previous studies suggested that the false-negative ratio of [(18)F]-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose-positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is very low; therefore

Studies in rodents have shown that brown adipose tissue (BAT) is activated on food intake, thereby reducing metabolic efficiency. The current study investigated whether a single high-calorie, carbohydrate-rich meal activates BAT in lean human adults. BAT activity was studied in
