β‐Elemene / OCR Cancer Research Results

β‐Ele, β‐Elemene: Click to Expand ⟱
Features:
β‐Elemene is a naturally occurring sesquiterpene that has garnered interest for its potential anticancer properties. It is primarily isolated from plants in the Curcuma genus (such as Curcuma wenyujin), which are traditionally used in Chinese medicine.

Type:
Oxygen consumption rate (OCR) is a measure of the rate at which cells consume oxygen, and it has been found to be altered in cancer cells. Cancer cells often exhibit increased glycolysis, a process in which glucose is converted into energy without the use of oxygen, even in the presence of oxygen. This is known as the Warburg effect.
Cancer cells often exhibit increased glycolysis, which leads to a decrease in OCR.
-When mitochondrial function is impaired (resulting in lower OCR), cells may compensate by upregulating glycolysis to meet their energy needs (known as the Pasteur effect).
-Instruments such as the Seahorse Analyzer allow simultaneous measurement of OCR (reflecting mitochondrial respiration) and Extracellular Acidification Rate (ECAR, which is commonly used as a proxy for glycolysis). This dual measurement helps researchers understand how shifts in one pathway correlate with compensatory changes in the other.
