text: For example, early studies using both bone slices and isolated osteoblasts reveal that osteoblasts rapidly take up glucose and metabolize it primarily into lactate [98–101]. More recent studies have confirmed aerobic glycolysis as a predominant mode of glucose metabolism in primary calvarial osteoblasts despite increased OXPHOS as the cells further differentiate to form mineralized nodules in response to ascorbic acid and β-glycerophosphate .
