Increased lipid utilization in weight losing and weight stable cancer patients with normal body weight
Article Abstract:
There are no significant differences in lipid clearance rates between weight losing and weight stable cancer patients, according to research designed to establish a metabolic basis for adequate nutrition of cancer patients. Cancer patients with normal body weight have a raised lipid oxidation rate. This is more marked among those losing weight. It is suggested that fat intake should be increased in cancer patients to meet their metabolic requirements.
