Hypothetical role of ketogenic diet in cancer metabolic rewiring. Cancer cells rely upon metabolic rewiring characterized by increased glucose uptake (red arrow) and glycolysis, increased glutaminolysis and TCA cycle rates, which sustain biomass expansion and tumor growth. Ketogenic diet, by reducing glucose oxidation (green arrow), does not further support cancer cells proliferation, thereby impairing tumor expansion.
