Depressed Growth of Morris Hepatomas and Altered Lysosomal Hydrolases during Altitudinal Hypoxia 1

Abstract

Summary

The present results indicate, therefore, that the growth of Morris hepa-tomas 5123C and 7793 was impaired by exposure of the hosts to 4500 m altitude, and that this effect involved alterations in the activities of lysosomal enzymes in both hepatomas and host livers.
