Animals supplemented 48 hours after the tumoral inoculation presented greater extended survival 20 days, p=0.0001 when compared to the placebo group 19 days, p=0.0001 .Conclusion: The results suggest that both groups supplemented with 8% L-arginine presented beneficial results in respect to extended survival when compared to the placebo group, and better yet if the amino acid was administered before the tumoral inoculation

Abstract

Objective: This study was undertaken to assess the effect of L-arginine at 8% on extended survival of rats with Walker 256 tumor. Method: The study is experimental, randomized, double blind. The animals for this experiment were divided in 3 groups. The first group placebo received gavage with water, seven days before the inoculation of Walker 256 tumor. The second group received 8% L-arginine solution of caloric ingestion 48 hours after the tumoral inoculation. The third group received 8% L-arginine solution of total caloric ingestion, initiated seven days before the tumoral inoculation. Results: The third group, supplemented seven days before the tumoral inoculation, presented greater extended survival 21 days, p=0.0001 when compared to animals from the other two. Animals supplemented 48 hours after the tumoral inoculation presented greater extended survival 20 days, p=0.0001 when compared to the placebo group 19 days, p=0.0001 .Conclusion: The results suggest that both groups supplemented with 8% L-arginine presented beneficial results in respect to extended survival when compared to the placebo group, and better yet if the amino acid was administered before the tumoral inoculation

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışma Walker 256 tümörlü ratların %8’lik arginin içeren diyetle sağ kalım sürelerinin arttırılmasını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.Yöntem: Bu çalışma deneysel, rastgele ve çift kör metodla yapılmıştır. Deneyde ratlar 3 gruba ayrılmıştır. Birinci gruba placebo walker 256 tümör aşılanmasından 7 gün önce sonda yardımı ile su verilmiştir. İkinci grup tümör aşılamasından 48 saat sonra %8’lik arginin solüsyonu almıştır. Üçüncü grup ise tümör aşılamasından 7 gün önce %8’lik arginin solüsyonu ile beslenmeye başlanmıştır.Bulgular: Tümoral aşılamadan 7 gün önce beslenmeye başlayan üçüncü grup diğer iki gruba nazaran daha fazla hayatta kalmıştır. 21 gün p=0.0001 Aşılamadan 48 saat sonra beslenen grupta hayatta kalma süresi 20 gün p=0.0001 placebo grubuna nazaran daha fazladır.Sonuç: Sonuçlar göstermektedir ki Arginin takviyesi alan iki grup placebo grubuna nazaran hayatta kalma süresi açısından bundan fayda görmüşlerdir. Ayrıca arginin takviyesine tümör aşılamasından önce başlayan grupta bu etki daha fazladır
