Abstract:Summary Own investigations on in-vivo tumor metabolism of the malignant human colon tumor showed a significant uptake of branched chain amino acids by the tumor itself. To study the quantitative tumor protein metabolism (ldquocompartment ldquotumorrdquo) the13C-leucine-tracer-technique was modified.Beside the common13C-leucine-breath-test we measured also the AV-differences of13C-leucine,13C-ketoisocaproate and13CO2. The ldquoTumorblood flowrdquo was measured by ldquovenous-outflow-techniquerdquo as well as the tumor mass.In this way it is possible to get quantitative results in substrate exchange of branched chain amino acids in malignant human colon tumors.
Keywords:Amino acids  Stable isotopes  13C-Leucine  Tumor metabolism  Malignant colon tumor
