description

Free aminoacids were estimated in benzopyrene sarcoma of rats and in some organs of the tumour-bearing rats (brain, heart, muscle, lung, liver, spleen, kidney). In the tumour the content changes according to the growth stage; in the advanced tumour a strong increase of serine-glycine, glutammic acid and treonine is observed. In the organs the free amino acid contents are diminished in the first stages of the tumour growth, while in the advanced stages there is a tendency to an increase with different values according to the organs. The oxidation process in the organ homogenate (with or without substrate addition) varies according to the stage of the tumour growth, more evidently in the organs showing a large modification of the amino acids contents.
