Albumin synthesis rates are not decreased in hypoalbuminemic cachectic cancer patients with an ongoing acute-phase protein response.

Fearon, K C, Falconer, J S, Slater, C, McMillan, D C, Ross, J A, Preston, T

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether suppression of albumin synthesis contributes to the hypoalbuminemia observed in weight-losing cancer patients with evidence of an ongoing acute-phase protein response...

Glutamine-supplemented total parenteral nutrition enhances T-lymphocyte response in surgical patients undergoing colorectal resection.

O'Riordain, M G, Fearon, K C, Ross, J A, Rogers, P, Falconer, J S, Bartolo, D C, ...

OBJECTIVE: The authors determined the effect of glutamine-supplementation of TPN on postoperative peripheral blood T-cell response and proinflammatory cytokine production in patients undergoing...

Cytokines, the acute-phase response, and resting energy expenditure in cachectic patients with pancreatic cancer.

Falconer, J S, Fearon, K C, Plester, C E, Ross, J A, Carter, D C

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether resting energy expenditure (REE) is increased in cachectic patients with pancreatic cancer and to define the relation of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin-6...

The effect of C3 levels on yeast opsonization by normal and pathological sera: identification of a complement independent opsonin.

Kerr, M A, Falconer, J S, Bashey, A, Beck, J S

The ability of 150 normal and pathological sera to opsonize yeast for uptake by isolated human polymorphonuclear leucocytes has been studied. Phagocytosis was measured by an assay depending on...
