STUDIES ON PHOSPHATE METABOLISM OF PROSTATIC TUMOR

PART 4. STUDIES ON THE EXTRACTS OF PROSTATIC GLAND

Abstract

This paper presented the effects of the surgical operation and treatment of prostatic hypertrophy and prostatic cancer on phosphate metabolism.
Experimentally, phosphorous determination was made by the injection of the prostatic extracts into rabbits.
1. Serum inorganic phosphorous, acid soluble phosphorous, lipoid phosphorous showed no essential differences between prostatic hypertrophy and prostatic cancer.
2. Nucleic acid phosphorous level showed much higher in prostatic cancer than prostatic hypertrophy.
3. The effect of the surgical operation on phosphorous determination was also observed. Inorganic phosphorous, acid soluble phosphorous, lipoid phosphorous and, especially, nucleic acid phosphorous level were decrasing after the operation.
4. On the effects of the prostatic extracts, these phosphorous level were increasing after the administration of the, prostatic extracts, especially, nucleic acid phosphorous level showed much effective with it.
