The DNA per average nucleus is reduced in liver tissue from cortisone treated mice, whereas cortisone produced no such change in malignant liver tissue taken from the same animal.
Whereas liver RNA is not altered by cortisone, tumor RNA is reduced.
Large doses of cortisone caused a slight but significant reduction in liver nitrogen but no such change was observed in tumor tissue.
A lack of correlation between RNA and nitrogen content in the tumor tissue after cortisone treatment has been demonstrated.
