an plasma cell tumor of the right lower jaw.

These powerful emotions trigger adrenal hormone release — the physiological effects
of which include activation
of adipocyte lipase (resulting in mobilization
of free fatty acids) and partial inhibition
of protein synthesis, i.e., the
plasma amino acids which are normally (readily) utilized by nonmalignant
cells for protein synthesis are only partially used resulting in an increase in the availability
of amino acids to meet
tumor cell metabolic needs.
