Can KLT help improve cachexia?
Normally energy consumption of an advanced patient is quite high. As a lipid formulation, KLT can provide high energy while exerting anti-cancer function to improve patient cachexia state. KLT’s calorie value is 4,906 J/g which is much higher than that of 10% glucose and intravenous fat emulsion. The results from Chinese basic experimental studies showed that the administration of KLT to cancer cachectic mice significantly inhibited the loss of body weight, increased food intake, prolonged life span, inhibited tumor growth and in some mince even caused liquefaction and necrosis of tumor. The serum levels of TNF- and IL-1 also declined substantially. All findings suggested that KLT possesses remarkable counteractive effect on cancer cachexia. Q31. Which aspects reflect the immune function improvement after KLT application? A: By activating T lymphocytes, NK cells and LAK cells, speeding up synthesis of macrophage and secretion of interleukin, strengthening phagocytic function of macroph
