In tumor-bearing rats, most of the serum amino acids are used for synthesis and oxidation processes by the neoplastic tissue. In the present study, the effect of Walker 256 carcinoma growth on the intestinal absorption of leucine, methionine and glucose was investigated in newly weaned and mature rats. Food intake and carcass weight were decreased in newly weaned (NT) and mature (MT) rats bearing Walker 256 tumor in comparison with control animals (NC and MC). The tumor/carcass weight ratio was higher in NT than in MT rats, whereas nitrogen balance was significantly decreased in both as compared to control animals. Glucose absorption was significantly reduced in MT rats (MT = 47.3 +/- 4.9 vs MC = 99.8 +/- 5.3 nmol min-1 cm-1, Kruskal-Wallis test, P &lt; 0.05) but this fact did not hamper the evolution of cancer. There was a significant increase in methionine absorption in both groups (NT = 4.2 +/- 0.3 and MT = 2.0 +/- 0.1 vs NC = 3.7 +/- 0.1 and MC = 1.2 +/- 0.2 nmol min-1 cm-1, Kruskal-Wallis test, P &lt; 0.05), whereas leucine absorption was increased only in young tumor-bearing rats (NT = 8.6 +/- 0.2 vs NC = 7.7 +/- 0.4 nmol min-1 cm-1, Kruskal-Wallis test, P &lt; 0.05), suggesting that these metabolites are being used for synthesis and oxidation processes by the neoplastic cells, which might ensure their rapid proliferation especially in NT rats.
