Summary

When total DHEA, G-6-PDH activity, and c-AMP were determined in human neoplastic mammary tissue and corresponding normal tissue the G-6-PDH activity in the former tissue greatly exceeded that found in normal tissue. On the other hand, a remarkable decrease of total DHEA and c-AMP could be detected in cancer tissue, hinting at the participation of DHEA in the intracellular regulation of G-6-PDH and c-AMP levels.
