[Characteristics of disorders of water-electrolyte homeostasis in rats with transplantable hepatomas]. / Osobennosti narushenii vodno-élektrolitnogo gomeostaza u krys s perevivivymi gepatomami.

ABSTRACT

The growth of ascitic Zajdela and solid 27 hepatomas in vivo is accompanied by significant changes in parathyroid hormones, calcitonin and aldosterone blood levels. In periods close to terminal ones, their level decreases presumably as a result of energy deficiency in the endocrine glands. The arising hormonal shifts are a result of a "metabolic stress" caused by the growing tumour.
