Tumor-induced muscle amino acid changes may signal cachexia risk; leaves open doxorubicin interactions and human relevance.
This study demonstrates significantly perturbed amino acid pools within muscle as a result of tumor growth, with marginal additive effects of doxorubicin administration. Notably, tumor amino acid pools remain primarily unchanged despite muscle suggesting significant changes, which may be indicative of structural damage or reduced ability to produce energy.

McCue et al. (2025) studied this question. Tumor growth significantly perturbed amino acid pools within muscle, with marginal additive effects from doxorubicin, while tumor amino acid pools remained primarily unchanged.
