adenocarcinoma/triglyceride

Obesity is an established risk factor for the development of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, the pathophysiology of how increased adiposity increases the risk for PDAC has not been fully elucidated. Adipose triglyceride lipase (ATGL) is a lipase that catabolizes triglyceride

Investigations on mice inoculated with Ca-755 mammary adenocarcinoma have shown that the levels of serum LDH (especially isozymes resulting from the B sub-unit), TGO and TG are higher than those found in normal mice, while PAL (only bone isozyme) and TGP are lower. Comparisons were made with tumour

The present study reports the characteristics of the biochemical profile of human gastric adenocarcinoma in comparison with that of healthy gastric mucosa, using ex vivo HR-MAS Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy. Healthy human mucosa is mainly characterized by the presence of small metabolites (more

Cancer cachexia, characterized by weight loss and progressive tissue wasting, has been postulated to be mediated by cytokines. In this study the effect of FR143430, (2-(4-fluorophenyl)-4, 5, 6, 7-tetrahydro-3-(4-pyridyl)pyrazolo[1, 5-a]pyrimidine monohydrochloride), an inhibitor of Interleukin-1 and

A comparison has been made between the ability of long-chain triglycerides (LCT) and medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) to prevent weight loss induced by the cachexia-inducing colon adenocarcinoma (MAC16) and to reduce tumour size. There was no difference in calorie consumption or nitrogen intake

Adipocytes have been demonstrated to promote the progression of various tumors through modulation of cancer cell metabolism. However, their role in lung cancer progression remains undetermined. In the present study, adipocytes and lung adenocarcinoma A549 cells were cultured in a Transwell

The comparative effects of diets containing 20% (wt/wt) of either fish oil (FO) or safflower oil (SO) on protein synthesis and catabolism were determined in rats bearing the 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) 13762 mammary adenocarcinoma in vivo using a 6-hour constant infusion of

Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder that is characterized by defective assembly and secretion of plasma apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins. This disorder results from mutations in the MTP gene encoding the microsomal triglyceride transfer protein. We report

Intracellular lipid droplets (LDs) supply fatty acids for energy, membrane biogenesis, and lipoprotein secretion. The surface monolayer of LDs is composed of phospholipids, primarily phosphatidylcholine (PC), that stabilize the neutral lipid core of triglyceride (TG). To determine the relationship

There are many epidemiological papers on the relation of lipids especially of cholesterol, and the incidence of colorectal adenoma and cancer. In the studies of pathogenesis of the cancer of the large intestine attention is paid to the role of certain lipoproteins of bile acids and certain

The composition of total fatty acids in serially transplanted mammary adenocarcinomas of C3H mice which were fed a fat free diet or a stock diet containing 4% fat for 8 weeks were significantly different, although fatty acid amounts were similar. The difference in composition was manifested in the

Elevated levels of butyrylcholinesterase activity occur under a number of hypertriglyceridemic conditions, including diabetes and obesity. This study examines whether butyrylcholinesterase activity has a direct effect on triglyceride production, using Caco-2 cells, a human intestinal adenocarcinoma

"Chylous ascites is a rare presentation of peritoneal effusion. The signet ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma is also relatively rare presentation of gastric cancer. We present a quite rare case of chylous ascites associated with signet ring cell gastric adenocarcinoma. METHODS a 47-years-old

OBJECTIVE Obesity has been linked to esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). We hypothesize that adipokines, which are altered by obesity, could affect EAC growth rates and potentially serve as biomarkers of disease and targets for treatment. We have developed a potential murine model to investigate the

The effect of weight loss during cancer cachexia on the plasma levels of free fatty acids (FFA) and triglycerides, and on the tissue levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL), has been studied in mice bearing an experimental colon adenocarcinoma (MAC16). Despite extensive mobilisation of host body fat
