Abstract excerpt
We have shown that Tyr and Phe restriction suppresses the malignant phenotype of the highly invasive and metastatic BL6 variant of B16 murine melanoma. Lung-colonizing abilities of Tyr- and Phe-modulated in vivo and in vitro variants of BL6 are inhibited following intravenous inoculation into mice fed normal diet. Although this antimetastatic effect of Tyr and Phe restriction is most likely not due to differences...
