title: [Inhibitive effect of umbellatus polyporus polysaccharide on cachexic manifestation induced by toxohormone-L in rats].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To investigate the effect of treatment of cachexia with Umbellatus Polyporus Polysaccharide (UPP).
  
  
  METHODS
  UPP was used to treat cachexia induced by toxohormone-L.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Toxohormone-L from ascites fluid with primary hepatoma could induce lipolysis in vitro significantly, inhibit the intake behavior, decrease the level of blood zinc, increase that of blood copper (P < 0.01), upp could inhibit these effects.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Toxohormone-L was closely related with neoplastic cachexia and UPP could inhibit this effect induced by toxohormone-L significantly.
