Metabolic substrate utilization by tumour and host tissues in cancer cachexia.
Utilization of metabolic substrates in tumour and host tissues was determined in the presence or absence of two colonic tumours, the MAC16, which is capable of inducing cachexia in recipient animals, and the MAC13, which is of the same histological type, but without the effect on host body composition. Glucose utilization by different tissues was determined in vivo by the 2-deoxyglucose tracer ...
متن کاملNonmuscle Tissues Contribution to Cancer Cachexia
Cachexia is a syndrome associated with cancer, characterized by body weight loss, muscle and adipose tissue wasting, and inflammation, being often associated with anorexia. In spite of the fact that muscle tissue represents more than 40% of body weight and seems to be the main tissue involved in the wasting that occurs during cachexia, recent developments suggest that tissues/organs such as adi...
متن کاملMetabolic signatures imaged in cancer-induced cachexia.
Cancer-induced cachexia is a complex and poorly understood life-threatening syndrome that is characterized by progressive weight loss due to metabolic alterations, depletion of lipid stores, and severe loss of skeletal muscle protein. Gaining the ability to noninvasively image the presence or onset of cachexia is important to better treat this condition, to improve the design and optimization o...
متن کاملL-carnitine and cancer cachexia. I. L-carnitine distribution and metabolic disorders in cancer cachexia.
Cancer cachexia (CC), a progressive loss of body mass, is associated with decreased energy production. Abnormally low levels of L-carnitine (LC) in skeletal muscle means that mitochondrial β-oxidation of long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) does not occur efficiently in patients with CC. We assessed the influence of CC on LC distribution and the effects of parenteral lipid emulsions on plasma LC level...
متن کاملMetabolic reprogramming induced by ketone bodies diminishes pancreatic cancer cachexia
BACKGROUND Aberrant energy metabolism is a hallmark of cancer. To fulfill the increased energy requirements, tumor cells secrete cytokines/factors inducing muscle and fat degradation in cancer patients, a condition known as cancer cachexia. It accounts for nearly 20% of all cancer-related deaths. However, the mechanistic basis of cancer cachexia and therapies targeting cancer cachexia thus far ...
