RESUMO
Several studies have shown the relationship between prostaglandins (PGs) and cell proliferation. Some PGs may trigger cell dibision or are involved in this process. This a=study analyzes the effect of PG biosyntheseis inhibitors on tumor growth in vivo and cachexia in Walker 256 tumor-bearing rats. Indomethacin markedly inhibited tumor growth (95.5% while ibuprofen and aspirin reduced tumor growth by 73.9% and 59.4%, respectively. In addition, all drug-treated rats partially recovered body weight and food intake as compared to the saline-treated group. These findings suggest that PG synthesis inhibitors improve cancer cachexia
