Evidence for cardiac atrophic remodeling in cancer-induced cachexia in mice
5 Aug 2011
Abstract excerpt
Cachexia is a common complication in cancer patients, which dramatically reduces quality of life and survival. In contrast to the well-studied feature of skeletal muscle loss, alterations in cardiac muscle are unclear. Recently, we reported that heart contractile function was significantly impaired in mice with colon-26 (C26) tumors, a widely used rodent model of cancer cachexia. In the present study, we...
