The effect of extracellular Pi and arsenate on Pi-transport in Ehrlich ascites tumor cells has been studied. Pi-transport can be described by Michaelis-Menten kinetics; the maximal flux equal to 44 mmoles (kg cell water)-' hour-' and K m equal to 3.3 X 1 0 -4 M. Arsenate is a competitive inhibitor o

Abstract
The total lipid content of whole cells and isolated nuclei of Ehrlich ascites tumors was found to increase in parallel with increasing age. Mainly triglycerides were accumulated both in the cells and in the nuclei, but the nuclear fraction showed also an increase in the total cholesterol content. No marked accumulation of lipid droplets could be observed in isolated nuclei, and thus it can be presumed that in the course of aging the increase in neutral lipid content is due to a profound alteration in the lipid composition of lipidβcontaining nuclear structures.

A common feature of many tumors is an increase in glucose catabolism during tumor growth. We studied the mechanism of this phenomenon by using Ehrlich ascites tumor bearing mice as the animal model. We found that Ehrlich ascites tumor cells possess only glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) and GLUT3 but no
## Abstract ## Background Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is known to play a major role in angiogenesis. A soluble form of Fltβ1, a VEGF receptor, is potentially useful as an antagonist of VEGF, and accumulating evidence suggests the applicability of sFltβ1 in tumor suppression. In the p
## Abstract Transport of amino acids into 3T3 and SV3T3 (SV40 virusβtransformed 3T3) cells was measured on glass cover slips. The 3T3 and SV3T3 cells contain both A (alanine preferring) and L (leucine preferring) systems for neutral amino acid transport. Initial rates of uptake of amino acids are a
