摘要

Nutritional deprivation/depletion studies in laboratory/veterinary animals have led to great scientific discoveries and better understanding of the biosyntheses and metabolisms of the studied nutrients, such as fatty acids, vitamins, amino acids and hormones. In cancer cell cultures, depletion of a number of amino acids such as arginine, 5-hydroxytryptophan, leads to cell death in a broad range of cancer cells. This provides the scientific basis of amino acid depletion in cancer treatment.
