Abstract

In this work, we investigated the NAD(P)-dependent dehydrogenase activity in different fields of the solid form of Ehrlich carcinoma. It was shown that there is a metabolic distinction between different fields of the solid tumor. In this way, there is a significant difference between the ascites and solid type of Ehrlich carcinoma. In the central area of the tested sample of tumor tissue, there is a high intensity of energetic metabolism and biosynthetic processes as opposed to the peripheral areas. Previously, we proposed the concept of nonspecific metabolic reaction of the cell in organism upon the influence of negative factors. In accordance with this concept, our results indicate the development of adaptation in the tumor cells in the central area of the tested sample.
