The Effect of Walker Carcinoma 256 on the Total Lipid Content of Rats^*

(From the Division of Cancer Research, Department of Surgery, The University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry, Rochester, New York)

Sexually mature rats in which Walker carcinoma 256 grew progressively lost significantly more total lipid than did pair-fed controls of the same age, weight, and sex. Apparently growth of the Walker tumor increases the caloric requirements of its host.
