Abstract

Adipose tissue undergoes many changes during cancer cachexia, which remain unclear. This study undertakes to investigate the changes in the extracellular matrix of white adipose tissue under the effect of the syndrome, using animal models (rats), seeking to further determine the onset of these.(AU)
