We study a chiral relativistic theory of nuclear matter aimed at the
desciption of both the binding and saturation properties and the QCD
properties, quark condensate and QCD susceptibilities. For this purpose the
nucleon scalar response of the quark-meson coupling model is introduced in the
linear sigma model. The consequences for the nuclear and the QCD scalar
susceptibilities are discussed.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figures, sumitted to Physical Review
