Type:
Cachexia is a complex metabolic syndrome characterized by severe body weight, muscle, and fat loss that cannot be fully reversed by conventional nutritional support.
It is commonly associated with advanced cancers, including pancreatic, lung, gastrointestinal, and head and neck cancers.

Cachexia can lead to significant fatigue, decreased muscle strength, and overall physical debilitation, severely affecting a patient’s quality of life and functional status.

5320- ALC,    l-Carnitine: An adequate supplement for a multi-targeted anti-wasting therapy in cancer
- in-vivo, Var, NA
Strength↑, improved physical performance (total physical activity, mean movement velocity and total travelled distance).
*Casp3↓, Interestingly, l-carnitine treatment also decreases caspase-3 mRNA content therefore suggesting a modulation of apoptosis.
cachexia↓, concluded that l-carnitine supplementation may be a good approach for a multi-targeted therapy for the treatment of cancer-related cachexia.
*Dose↝, It is a natural compound free from toxicity up to 6 g/day in human subjects with cancer10 and up to 9 g/day i.v. in patients with acute cardiac infarction.

5324- ALC,    The anti-wasting effects of L-carnitine supplementation on cancer: experimental data and clinical studies
- Review, Var, NA
*cachexia↓, The results of this process favored L-carnitine supplementation in patients with cancer-related cachexia.
*Apoptosis↓, inhibiting apoptosis or reversing inflammatory processes.
*Inflam↓,
QoL↑, This treatment increased plasma-free carnitine concentrations and significantly improved fatigue, which was assessed using the functional assessment of cancer therapy, fatigue, and quality of life questionnaire, as well as quality-of-life measu
Dose↝, placebo-controlled trial, in which 2 g per day of LC was administrated orally for four weeks among eligible patients.
Weight↑, advanced pancreatic cancer received either LC (4 g/day orally) or a placebo for 12 weeks. The results showed that body mass index, nutritional status (body cell mass and body fat), and quality-of-life parameters increased
OS↝, There was an insignificant increase in overall survival, a decline in length of hospital stays, and decrease in fatigue among the LC-treated patients.
fatigue↓,
eff↝, some dietary factors, such as food intake restriction and intake of LC and certain micronutrients (vitamin C, vitamin B6, and iron, which are required as cofactors for endogenous LC biosynthesis) may have some effects on the efficacy of LC sup

1810- dietKeto,  Oxy,    The Ketogenic Diet and Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy Prolong Survival in Mice with Systemic Metastatic Cancer
- in-vivo, Var, NA
BG↓, KD alone significantly decreased blood glucose, slowed tumor growth, and increased mean survival time by 56.7% in mice with systemic metastatic cancer.
TumCG↓,
OS↑,
eff↑, While HBO2T alone did not influence cancer progression, combining the KD with HBO2T elicited a significant decrease in blood glucose, tumor growth rate, and 77.9% increase in mean survival time compared to controls.
Dose∅, Mice undergoing HBO2T received 100% O2 for 90 minutes at 1.5 ATM gauge (2.5 ATM absolute) three times per week (M, W, F) in a hyperbaric chamber (Model 1300B, Sechrist Industries, Anaheim, CA).
KeyT↑, only the KD+HBO2T animals showed significantly increased ketones compared to controls
eff↑, we hypothesized that combining these non-toxic treatments would provide a powerful, synergistic anti-cancer effect.
cachexia↓, While low carbohydrate or ketogenic diets promote weight loss in overweight individuals, they are also known to spare muscle wasting during conditions of energy restriction and starvation
ChemoSen↑, KD improves quality of life and enhances the efficacy of chemotherapy treatment in the clinic
*ROS↓, ketone body metabolism protects cells from oxidative damage by decreasing ROS production. cancer cells are unable to effectively metabolize ketone bodies; we do not expect that ketones would confer the same protective effects onto the cancer cells
ROS↑, HBO2T increases ROS production within the cell which can lead to membrane lipid peroxidation and cell death
lipid-P↑,
selectivity↑, KD weakens cancer cells by glucose restriction and the inherent anti-cancer effects of ketone bodies while simultaneously conferring a protective advantage to the healthy tissue capable of ketone metabolism.
toxicity∅, HBO2T should be considered a safe treatment for patients with varying malignancies and that there is no convincing evidence its use promotes cancer progression or recurrence

5226- EMD,    Emodin and rhein decrease levels of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α in human pancreatic cancer cells and attenuate cancer cachexia in athymic mice carrying these cells
- vitro+vivo, Pca, MIA PaCa-2
Hif1a↓, We obtained evidence that emodin and rhein decreased HIF-1α by decreasing its biosynthesis but not gene transcription or protein stability.
TumCG↓, In conclusion, emodin and rhein decrease pancreatic cancer cell's growth and HIF-1α expression and attenuate cancer cachexia in the athymic mice carrying the cancer cells.
