Abstract
The effect of the oral administration of large amounts of arginine or lysine on tumor growth and hypercholesterolemia was studied in rats in to which hepatoma AH109A cells had been transplanted. Arginine reduced both hepatoma growth and hypercholesterolemia, and lysine tended to h ave these effects. The oral administration of large amounts of arginin e might be useful to decrease cachexia arising from cancer and to inhi bit the tumor growth.
