[Advantages of the Eagle medium over saline solutions in the studies of the metabolic parameters of tumor cells in vitro].

In two media (krebsringer phosphate and phosphate-enriched Eagle medium) the indices of energetic metabolism (respiration, glycolysis. ATP content) were determined and the metabolism of macromolecular compounds (c-RNA) of Ehrlich carcinoma ascitic cells was investigated. The results of studies of ascites tumor cells metabolism have indicated considerable advantages of phosphate-enriched Eagle medium over krebs ringer phosphate buffer.
