Abstract:TUMOUR growth is usually associated with low levels of pyridine nucleotides (PN)* (Glock and McLean, 1957; Jedeikin and Weinhouse, 1955). In addition, it was earlier shown from this laboratory that the levels and synthesis of pyridine nucleotides are also lowered in the host tissues of tumour bearing animals (Narurkar, Kumta and Sahasrabudhe, 1957 Narurkar and Sahasrabudhe, 1959). In all these instances, the host tissues showed a lowering of levels and synthesis of pyridine nucleotides. In view of the low leve… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
