title: Enzyme studies on tumour cell suspensions.
abstract: Activities of glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose 1,6-diphosphatase, ornithine transcarbamylase, arginase and xanthine oxidase were measured in thioacetamide induced primary hepatoma and its tumour cell suspension. It was observed that the percentage decrease in the activities of all the enzymes in tumour cell suspension was far more than that observed in tumour tissue. However, in these studies no qualitative difference was observed between the parenchymal cells and the tumour cells.
