Many tumour cells exhibit high rates of glutamine consumption to support macromolecular biosynthesis and cell proliferation 1. Glutamine fuels the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle through anaplerosis ...

People are worried that a chemical compound called asparagine, found in asparagus (and other food), might be linked to breast cancer. Here's what we know.

A protein building block found in asparagus and other foods may hold a key to preventing the spread of an often-deadly type of breast cancer, according to Cedars-Sinai scientists in a new study ...

Future cancer treatments may come with a specific dietary recommendation — eat less asparagus, potatoes and seafood. All are among foods with high levels of asparagine, an amino acid researchers ...

To prevent the spread of breast cancer, it may help to limit dietary asparagine, an amino acid found in many foods of animal and plant origin—including, yes, asparagus. But since asparagine may be ...

Thanks to the a recent study into mice and the impact a chemical compound called asparagine people have been frantically searching for answers as to whether they should give up asparagus. The study in ...
