Vitamin and Coenzyme Content of Hepatomas induced by Butter Yellow

Nature volume 187, pages 249–250 (1960)Cite this article

Abstract

DESPITE the great importance of vitamins and coenzymes to all aspects of metabolism, little attention has been given to the concentration of these compounds in tumours in recent years. In fact, the only systematic study appears to be the work of R. J. Williams and associates1. The results of this work demonstrate that the concentration of vitamins in tumours is quite abnormal.
