LACTATE-PROTECTED HYPOGLYCEMIA TO TREAT GLYCOLYSIS DEPENDENT PATHOLOGICAL CONDITIONS, IN PARTICULAR CANCER

摘要

A kit includes the components lactic acid, insulin and glucose, and optionally one or more components selected from a glucagon inhibitor, an alpha-beta adrenergic blocker and an antidiabetic agent, for treating a glycolysis-dependent pathological condition in a human or animal. A treatment includes intravascular, in particular intravenous, delivery of the components lactic acid, insulin and glucose into the circulation of the human or animal to be treated to induce hypoglycemia and hyperlactatemia. The glycolysis-dependent pathological condition is selected from the group consisting of cancer, bacterial infection or parasite infection.
