[Cyclic adenosine monophosphate content in the lymphocytes of cancer patients].
Examinations have been carried out on 83 cancer patients (aged 34-72), 24 patients with atherosclerosis (aged 38-68) and 34 healthy persons (aged 20-69). The cAMP concentration decrease with age in lymphocytes of healthy persons is confirmed. This index in patients with lung carcinoma, breast carcinoma in remission and in patients with atherosclerosis was identical with that of healthy persons, but in patients with breast and corpus uteri carcinomas without metastases it was higher than in healthy persons of the similar age. The amount of cAMP in lymphocytes is compared with the magnitude of the blast transformation and with the amount of cholesterol in blood and lymphocytes in examined persons. The cAMP level in lymphocytes is observed to increase in the process of hyperlipidemia disappearance in cancer patients and in those with atherosclerosis.
