KROK 1 2020 – Question 92 · KROK (Medicine) · Pathophysiology
An experiment demonstrates that Jensen sarcoma leads to a significant increase in glucose uptake from the tumor afferent artery, while tumor efferent vein has high levels of lactic acid. This phenomenon indicates:
- A. Intensified anaerobic glycolysis
- B. Intensified oxidizing processes
- C. Decreased oxidizing processes
- D. Intensified protein oxidation
- E. Decreased anaerobic glycolysis
Hint
Compare what the tumor takes up from the arterial blood with what it releases into the venous blood, and ask which pathway links the two.
The answer, the explanation and a note on every option are available once you log in. The account is free: topic tests, a mock exam, mistake review and statistics.
