aCalculated rates of flux are expressed in millimoles per liter-cell per hour with relative SDs in percent for pathways shown in Figure 1. Warburg parameter is the ratio of the net flux through lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) to the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier influx (MPC).

bSD was estimated based on experimental measurements of glutamine consumption.
