Activation of lymphocytes and macrophages by the implantation of tumour cells (10(7) cells per rat) into the left flank of rats increased the conversion of glucose to lactate and of glutamine to glutamate and aspartate and the decarboxylation of [U-14C]-glucose and [U-14C]-glutamine in incubated cells. In addition, the amount of GLUT1 was increased in macrophages. The effect of insulin treatment on glucose and glutamine metabolism of lymphocytes and macrophages activated by Walker 256 tumour implantation was also examined. For this purpose, insulin was injected subcutaneously (4 U/100 g b.w. daily) after the fourth day of tumour implantation and the rats were killed 10 days afterwards. Insulin treatment fully reverted the changes due to tumour implantation in the metabolism of glucose and glutamine in lymphocytes and of glucose in macrophages.
