متن کاملChanges in serum putrescine and spermidine levels following local radiation to hepatoma 3924A of the rat.
Local irradiation of tumors of rats bearing 3924A hepatomas resulted in more than a doubling of the putrescine levvel and nearly a doubling of spermidine concentration in the serum within 12 hr. Within 24 hr, the putrescine concentration had increased four-fold in the serum, along with a continued increase in the spermidine concentration. The decrease in the spermidine concentration of the tumo...
متن کاملPolyamine depletion of the MTW9 mammary tumor and subsequent elevation of spermidine in the sera of tumor-bearing rats as a biochemical marker of tumor regression.
Polyamine levels were measured in livers, tumors, sera, and tumor interstitial fluids of rats with growing mammary tumors, as well as in rats at various times after the initiation of tumor regression obtained by hormonal deprivation. Although there were traces of putrescine and spermine in the sera of tumor-bearing animals, spermidine was the only polyamine that could be found consistently in m...
متن کاملChanges in polyamine levels and protein synthesis rate during rat liver carcinogenesis induced by 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene.
The concentrations of putrescine, spermidine, and spermine in liver of rats fed on 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene and in the resultant hepatomas were found to be significantly higher than were those observed in normal liver from rats of the same strain, sex, and age. These modifications were due to the carcinogen and not to the special low-riboflavin diet used to obtain the carcinogenic effect of 4-...
متن کاملIncreased Carbamoyl-phosphate Synthetase II Concentration in Rat Hepatomas: Immunological Evidence1
MATERIALS AND METHODS Carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase II (glutamina hydrolyzing, EC 6.3.5.5) (synthetase II), the rate-limiting enzyme of de novo undine monophosphate biosynthesis, was purified 230-fold to apparent homogeneity from rapidly growing rat hepatoma 3924A. The antiserum (produced in rabbits against purified hep atoma 3924A enzyme) yielded a single precipitin line with crude and partia...
