Description:
The growing murine melanoma B16 secretes increasing quantities of a substance or substances immunologically cross-reactive with insulin. The elevated concentrations of these substances in blood are accompanied by a decrease in blood glucose concentration and release of growth hormone, which is followed by increased tumor growth. By use of a phenomenological model based on these data, we show that B16 incites its own growth by positive feedback.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bajzer, Z -- Pavelic, K -- Vuk-Pavlovic, S -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1984 Aug 31;225(4665):930-2.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/6382606" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
