Skeletal muscle metabolism in mice bearing adenocarcinoma. III. Activities of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases.
Activities of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases in six skeletal muscles demonstrate 114-223% and 86-146% increase respectively, over the normal by the 10th week after adenocarcinoma transplantation in mice. The white (anaerobic) muscles reveal greater increment in these two enzymes than the red (aerobic) ones. The significance of elevated aminotransferase activities in energy metabolism of the host muscles is discussed.
