Here we describe an experimental tumor, hepatocarcinoma-29: transplantable strain of this tumor is maintained in an ascitic form in СВА/LacYIcgn mice in Institute of Cytology and Genetics of SD of RAS. After inoculation into the thigh muscles, the tumor induces anorexia, progressing loss of fat and muscle tissues, and physiological changes specific for cachexia: leukocytosis, hypoglycemia, and hypercorticism. The tumor metastasizes to all vital viscera and leads to animal death from renal failure.
