Effects of Fasting on Growth and Glycolysis of the Ehrlich Ascites Tumor

Summary

C57BL/6 male mice bearing the Ehrlich ascites tumor were sUbjected to two schedules of intermittent starvation, and the effect on the tumor's growth and production of lactic acid was determined. Fasting resulted in a linear doseresponse inhibition of tumor growth, but did not alter its lactic acid production.
