Abstract
✓ The energy-dependent membrane transport ATPases have been quantitatively determined in 59 human brain tumors and control cerebral cortex. The values for total ATPase were significantly decreased in the 11 types of brain tumors tested, while in the glioma group there was a consistent further decrease in ATPase with increasingly malignant types. The findings suggest that a deficiency in ATPase is a characteristic of neoplasia in the central nervous system.Keywords
