## Abstract **Background:** The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) regulates multiple cellular functions including translation in response to nutrients, especially amino acids. AMPβactivated protein kinase (AMPK) modulates metabolism in response to energy demand by responding to changes in AMP.
## Abstract 2βDeoxyglucose (2βDG), which has been shown to inhibit mammary carcinogenesis, was used as a metabolic probe to investigate effects of limiting energy availability (reduced cellular ATP) on patterns of proteins' phosphorylation that play a role in the development of cancer. Experiments
