title: [Preliminary data on the behavior of the enzyme of metabolism of phospholipid bases in human tumor preparations].
abstract: The A.A. have investigated the phospholipids base-exchange enzyme system in the solid tumours in order to state if a correlation between this activity and the variation of the cellular ciclic nucleotides amount was possible considering that these compounds have been reported to undergo a variation in tumour compared with normal tissues. They report some previous results in a lung tumour and in an endometrial carcinoma, were they have found a big increase in the PhS synthesis. Such increase was possible to be seen in the endometrial carcinoma only after a stimulation by 17-beta-estradiol and it was reversed in this case by doxorubicine. These results suggest that an alteration of the PhS synthesis should be one of numerous peculiarity of the neoplastic cell.
