Fluctuation of Fatty Acid Composition in Ehrlich Carcinoma-bearing Mouse Liver during the Growth Period

Fluctuation of Lipid Content in Ehrlich Carcinoma Cells during the Growth Period

“…Previously the author reported that, in Yoshida sarcoma-bearing rats, the fatty acid composition of host liver and host adipose tissues approached that of normal subjects when various kinds of anti-cancer drugs were administrated (Saito 1969). Kudo (1971) also reported that the lipid metabolism of Ehrlich ascites carcinoma-bearing mice became similar to that of the tumor cells. Therefore, a study on lipid metabolism in cancer will offer a useful suggestion to cancer chemotherapy, when it is taken into consideration that the administration of anticancer drugs normalizes the lipid metabolism of a host under pathological condition and that lipids are closely related to the functions of cell membrane.…”

Molecule formation in the interstellar gas

“…The presence of molecules can drastically alter the thermal equilibrium of an interstellar cloud. Rotational transitions in Hz can be very effective in cooling gas heated by shock waves (Field et aZl968) and will contribute to the cooling in quiescent clouds (Nishimura 1968, Kudo 1973. Heavy molecules such as CO can dominate the cooling of dark clouds at low temperatures (Berger and Simon 1973, Glassgold and Langer 1973a, Oppenheimer and Dalgarno 1975 and in some cases a molecule as rare as HCl may be of comparable importance (Dalgarno et a1 1974).…”
