title: [S35 lipoic acid distribution and its effect on pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in rats with Walker carcinoma].
abstract: S35-lipoic acid injected intraperitoneally in rats with Walker carcinosarcoma in a dose of 250 mg/Kg is accumulated in their organs and tissues to much higher concentrations compared with normal animals during all terms of the observation (15 min, 1 hour, 24 hours). Differences were especially great after 24 hours. Pyruvate dehydrogenase activity in tumor rats organs was considerably reduced when calculated per 1 Kg of tissue, but it is practically unchanged when calculated per 1 mg of protein, which amount in 1 g of tissue in them is distinctly lower than in normal animals. Single injections of lipoic acid in tumor-bearing rats do restore the enzyme activity to normal (in 1 hour), while repeated ones (10 days)--prolong animals lifeterms by 25%.
