"Indomethacin-treated tumor-bearing mice were also less anorectic than untreated tumor-bearing mice, and their nutritional state, particularly lean body mass, was significantly improved by indomethacin at doses (1 micrograms/g) that did not influence the food intake or body composition in non-tumor-bearing mice."5.28Effects of indomethacin, cytokines, and cyclosporin A on tumor growth and the subsequent development of cancer cachexia. ( Andersson, C; Gelin, J; Lundholm, K, 1991)

( Bading, JR; Buijs, N; Houdijk, AP; van Leeuwen, PA; Vermeulen, MA; Weeda, VB, 2015)

"While the pathophysiology of cancer anorexia-cachexia is poorly understood, evidence indicates that pro-inflammatory cytokines are key mediators of this response."1.36Deletion of the gene encoding MyD88 protects from anorexia in a mouse tumor model.
