Cancer-induced cachexia involves weight loss, catabolic activity, and inflammation. We have evaluated the effects of various treatments (GH, insulin (INS), indomethacin (IND), and all possible combinations) on cancer cachexia in a mouse model. BALB/c mice that were implanted with colon-26 adenocarcinoma developed cachexia in 9 days. Body weight, tumor volume, tumor-free weight, inflammatory cytokines (tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin 6 (IL6)), and nutritional markers (glucose (Glu… Expand
