Abstract

Changes in biosynthesis of cholesterol and free fatty acids from 2-14C-acetate in the host liver and tumour tissue as well as concentrations of various classes of lipids in blood were determined in rats bearing the transplanted Pliss lymphosarcoma. The transplantation of the tumour stimulates cholesterol biosynthesis de novo in the liver, but produces no changes in the fatty acid synthesis. Tumour growth is accompanied by a progressive increase in the content of triglycerides and beta-lipoproteins with a parallel drop in the alpha-cholesterol level in the animal blood. The concentration of total cholesterol is of phasic character depending on the stage of tumour growth. The possible mechanisms determining such alterations in lipids metabolism are discussed.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.

B-Cell Lymphoma

B-cell lymphomas include lymphomas that affect B cells. This subtype of cancer accounts for over 80% of non-Hodgkin lymphomas in the US. Here is the latest research.

ApoE, Lipids & Cholesterol

Serum cholesterol, triglycerides, apolipoprotein B (APOB)-containing lipoproteins (very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL), immediate-density lipoprotein (IDL), and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), lipoprotein A (LPA)) and the total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio are all connected in diseases. Here is the latest research.
