Skeletal muscle mitochondrial uncoupling in a murine cancer cachexia model.
Approximately half of all cancer patients present with cachexia, a condition in which disease-associated metabolic changes lead to a severe loss of skeletal muscle mass. Working toward an integrated and mechanistic view of cancer cachexia, we investigated the hypothesis that cancer promotes mitochondrial uncoupling in skeletal muscle. We subjected mice to in vivo phosphorous-31 nuclear magnetic...
متن کاملDifferential gene expression in a murine model of cancer cachexia.
Murine adenocarcinoma 16 (MAC16) tumors and cell lines induce cachexia in NMRI nude mice, whereas histologically similar MAC13 tumors do not. After confirming these findings in BALB/c nude mice, we demonstrated that this tissue wasting was not related to decreased food intake or increased total body oxidative metabolism. Previous studies have suggested that MAC16's cachexigenic properties may i...
متن کاملNeuropharmacological properties of farnesol in Murine model
Research on new compounds of therapeutic value for behavioral disorders has progressed recently. Several studies have reported neuropharmacological activities of plant derived terpenes. Farnesol is a sesquiterpene whose most popular source is fruits but the anxiolytic activity for farnesol is still unknown. The present study was conducted on 32 male Swiss Albino mice (8 in each group) to evalua...
متن کاملAnticachectic activity of 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine in a murine tumor cachexia model, colon 26 adenocarcinoma.
Murine colon 26 adenocarcinoma causes a progressive weight loss and physiological changes associated with cachexia when it grows to a certain size. By the use of this tumor model several types of cytostatics were examined for their ability to alleviate cachexia. Among them, 5'-deoxy-5-fluorouridine could reverse a progressive weight loss and improve hypoglycemia, hyperglucocorticism, and hepati...
متن کاملConcurrent muscle and bone deterioration in a murine model of cancer cachexia
Cachexia is defined as an excessive, involuntary loss of fat and lean tissue. We tested the validity of the Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC) as a model of cancer cachexia and examined its effect on the two major lean tissue components, skeletal muscle and bone. LLC cells (0.75 × 10(6)) were injected into the left thigh of C57BL/6 mice. Control mice received an equal volume injection of growth media. ...
