Urinary Sulfur Partition in Normal Men and in Cancer Patients

Abstract

Abstract 1. The partition of inorganic and total sulfate and total and neutral sulfur has been estimated in 10 normal men and 27 cancer patients. 2. The excretion of inorganic and total sulfate was found to be decreased and the neutral sulfur fraction increased in cancer patients more than in the normal subjects. 3. From the data above, it is suggested that there may be a decrease in the rate of the intracellular oxidation substances in the body of cancer patients.
