  The electronic structure of a 2D gas subjected to a tilted magnetic field,
with a strong component parallel to the GaAs/AlGaAs interface and a weak
component oriented perpendicularly, is studied theoretically. It is shown that
the parallel field component modifies the originally circular shape of a Fermi
contour while the perpendicular component drive an electron by the Lorentz
force along a Fermi line with a cyclotron frequency given by its shape. The
corresponding cyclotron effective mass is calculated self-consistently for
several concentrations of 2D carriers as a function of the in-plane magnetic
field. The possibility to detect its field-induced deviations from the zero
field value experimentally is discussed.
