Immunopotentiation of NKT cells by low-protein diet and the suppressive effect on tumor metastasis.

Abstract excerpt

Mice were fed with a 5% low-protein diet for two weeks, at which point tumor inoculation was conducted. Following this inoculation, the 5% low-protein diet was continued. On the other hand, control mice were fed with a normal diet (25% protein) and such diet was continued after tumor inoculation. In comparison with control mice, mice fed with the 5% low-protein diet showed a prominent prolongation of survival...
