The anti-tumor effect of a dietary supplement obtained from mixed cultures of several lactic acid bacteria was examined in the colon of tumor-inducing ICR male mice by use of a carcinogen, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, 20 mg/kg body weight, 1 intra-muscular injection per week for 10 weeks). The animals were sacrificed either 15 weeks or 24-26 weeks after the first carcinogen injection. Macroscopically, the incidence of colon tumors at a 24-26 week period of tumor induction was apparently lower in mice treated with both the DMH and dietary supplement (76%) than in those treated with DMH alone (100%).

This study was designed to investigate the optimal dose of garlic during long-term feeding and its preventive and therapeutic effects on colon cancer in rats induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). A total of 240 male Sprague-Dawley rats were grouped and fed with either a basal or a garlic diet of different concentration, and some groups were subcutaneously injected with DMH 20 mg/kg once a week for 20 weeks. The incidence of colon tumor was significantly decreased in the groups fed with 2.

The tumor-promoting activity of the anthraquinone laxative danthron was studied by giving 3 groups of male rats a single subcutaneous injection of the colon tumor-inducing agent 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH). After 1 week, the animals were fed diets containing 0, 600 or 2400 ppm of danthron for 26 weeks. Two other groups of rats were included in the study; one received no treatment while the other was given danthron only.

The effect of the antioxidant vitamin E on the tumor-inducing ability of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine dihydrochloride (1,2-DMH) was investigated in randomly bred Swiss mice. Three groups of mice that were 6 weeks of age at the beginning of the experiment received the following treatments: a) vitamin E acetate [DL-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (TA)] at a 4% dose level in a powdered diet for life; b) 1,2-DMH, 10 weekly sc injections at 20 micrograms/g body weight; c) combination of a and b treatments. The administration of TA enhanced the tumorigenicity of 1,2-DMH, as evidenced by statistically significant incidences of tumors in the duodenum, cecum, colon, rectum, and anus.

Separate solutions of 0.015% benzylhydrazine dihydrochloride and 0.01% phenylhydrazine hydrochloride were given continuously in the drinking water of 6- and 5-week-old randomly bred Swiss mice for the remainder of their life.
