To determine how these kinds of situations are out of balance in cancer, a dicussion that highlights measuring specific types of metabolism will be interesting.
For example, by a blood test or urine sample, what types of information are easily determined and linked back to tissue specific conditions present in that person?
Yes you read the literature about the turn over rate this might solve your problem
For example, with respiration, oxygen is taken into the bloodstream and bound to hemoglobin, and carbon dioxide is exhaled out of the lungs from the bloodstream. In the body this relates to the chemical reaction in the mitochondria where sugars react with oxygen and form water and carbon dioxide, releasing energy that the cells use to make Adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
This happens in muscle cells but perhaps in other kinds of cells too.
One way to measure this is by the heart rate after a quantified amount of some activity. This would help to determine how well a person can breathe. I admit, I would like to know a better way to determine mitochondrial metabolism or the rate of gas exchange in the lungs. Which is more important in heavy physical activity, the intake of oxygen or the release of carbon dioxide?
I am asking this question specifically to draw out examples like cellular respiration but also better methods of measuring specific molecules or physiological situations
