[Induction of tumor-like growth in a culture of mycelial fungi--a potential experimental model of multistage carcinogenesis]. / Induktsiia opukholepodobnogo rosta v kul'ture mitselial'nykh gribov--vozmozhnaia éksperimental'naia model' mnogostadiinogo kantserogeneza.

A microbiological model of two-stage experimental carcinogenesis is described. Induction of tumor-like growth in mycelial fungus Fusarium bulbigenum var. blasticola culture was shown to include: (1) initiation by carcinogenic mutagens and (2) promotion or reversible morpho-energy transformation of the cell.

The action of drugs of plant origin and of alkylating compounds (sarcolysine, prospidin) was accompanied by hormonal changes in rats with inoculated Pliss' lymphosarcoma. After the use of polyphenol plant drugs the secretion of pituitary FSH was inhibited, the blood concentration of testosterone was reduced and the cortisol secretion was substantially increased. The alkylating compounds stimulated the production of FSH, increased the secretion of testosterone, and clearly lowered the cortisol level.
