Furthermore, other enzymes in the urea cycle, ornithine transcarbamylase, arginine synthetase (over all reaction) and argininosuccinate cleavage enzyme, also showed elevated activity with a concomitant increase in urinary excretion of urea. The present experiments seem to show that the enhanced activities of these enzymes and the increased urea excretion both are related to protein catabolism under adrenal hyperfunction in tumor-bearing mice at the terminal stage. Possible explanations for the development of cachexia in tumor-bearing hosts were made.}, pages = {315--328}, title = {Activities of Urea Cycle Enzymes in Tumor-Bearing Mice}, volume = {33}, year = {1971} }
