Dose-dependent induction of glandular stomach preneoplastic and neoplastic lesions in male F344 rats treated with catechol chronically.

The dose-dependence of catechol glandular stomach carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats. Groups of 30 male animals were fed catechol at dietary levels of 0 (control). 0.

Carcinogenicity of antioxidants BHA, caffeic acid, sesamol, 4-methoxyphenol and catechol at low doses, either alone or in combination, and modulation of their effects in a rat medium-term multi-organ carcinogenesis model.

The carcinogenicity of low dietary levels of the antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), caffeic acid, sesamol, 4-methoxyphenol (4-MP) and catechol, known to target the forestomach or glandular stomach, were examined alone or in combination in a 2-year long-term experiment and their modifying effects assessed in a medium-term multiorgan model. In the carcinogenicity study, groups of 30-31 male F344 rats were treated with 0.4% BHA, 0.

Post-initiation inhibitory effects of green tea catechins on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene-induced mammary gland carcinogenesis in female Sprague-Dawley rats.

The dose-dependence of green tea catechin (GTC) effects on 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary gland carcinogenesis were investigated in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Groups of 20 6-week-old rats were treated with dietary 1, 0.1 or 0.

Decrease of prostaglandin E2 and 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine labeling but not prostate tumor development by indomethacin treatment of rats given 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl and testosterone propionate.

The modifying effects of indomethacin (IM) on rat prostate carcinogenesis induced by 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) were investigated. F344 rats were given 50 mg/kg body weight of DMAB at 2-week intervals for 20 weeks and then received IM at a dose of 20 ppm in the drinking water for 37 weeks. Separate groups additionally received testosterone propionate (TP) in Silastic tubes throughout the experiment.

Effects of tamoxifen, an antiestrogen, on rat prostate carcinogenesis by 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl and testosterone do not support an estrogen role in testosterone promotion.

Background: Our previous data suggest that estrogen plays an important role in rat prostate carcinogenesis, particularly in promotion by testosterone. Therefore, in the present experiment, effects of an antiestrogen, tamoxifen (TAM), were investigated.

Methods: Male F344 rats initially received 3,2'-dimethyl-4-aminobiphenyl (DMAB) at 50 mg/kg bw every 2 weeks for 20 weeks and then TAM in Silastic tubes was subcutaneously given alone or together with testosterone propionate (TP) for 40 weeks.
