A large number of observations point towards cytokines, polypeptides released mainly by immune cells, as the molecules responsible for the metabolic derangements associated with cancer-bearing states. Indeed, these alterations lead to a pathological state known as cancer cachexia which is, unfortuna

## BACKGROUND. Imbalanced amino acid diets in animals rapidly produce anorexia and weight loss. Blockade of type 3 serotonergic receptors (5HT 3 ) can ameliorate anorexia in this animal model. Imbalanced plasma amino acid levels also have been documented in both animal models and human patients wit

Kuper cells (KC), the liver macrophages, are able to produce PGE 2 , which is involved in immune suppression and in the aggravation of cancer cachexia due to interference with lipid metabolism in the liver. Since tumour-bearing (TB) rats present high plasma epinephrine levels, and this hormone is ab
