โฆ Synopsis
Ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity and differential polyamine composition have been studied in macroscopically normal mucosa, adjacent mucosa, and neoplastic tissue of 95 patients with adenocarcinomas of stomach and large intestine. In tumors, we found increased ODC activity and polyamine content as compared with surrounding mucosa. ODC activity in macroscopically normal tissue of patients with tumors of stomach and large intestine increased as the disease progressed. An inverse relationship was observed between ODC activity in adenocarcinomas and differentiation.

## Abstract The distribution of polyamines, putrescine, spermidine, and spermine is reported in the tissues of the lizard, __Calotes versicolor.__ The levels of spermidine and spermine are higher than those of putrescine in all tissues and most tissues have more spermine than spermidine. Enzymatic
Gastric ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity was measured as a biomarker of tumor-promoting activity in the remnant stomach of rats and humans. Gastrectomy of Wistar rats utilizing the Billroth 1 method caused a significantly high induction of ODC, and use of the Billroth 11 method caused a signif
