Effects of naturally occurring sugars on Ehrlich ascites tumor growth in mice.
The growth of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells in Swiss mice was modified by the addition of certain naturally occurring sugars to the drinking water or by ip inoculation of mice after infection. D-Mannose, D-ribose, and D-glucosamine produced the most striking antitumor effects, increasing significantly the survival rate in mice so treated.
