Studies have shown that different kinds of carbohydrates are able to modify the development of colo-rectal cancer in animals as well as humans. In the present study with rats sucrose and two types of starches were investigated for their effects on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF), which
OBJECTIVE
Starch that escapes digestion in the small intestine (resistant starch [RS]) may act similarly to nonstarch polysaccharides in the colon. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of raw potato starch alone and in combination with wheat bran on tumor development and precancer events
The potential of purple sweet potato color (PSPC) and red cabbage color (RCC), natural anthocyanin food colors, to modify colorectal carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344/DuCrj rats, initially treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) and receiving
METHODS
Anthocyanins, the natural pigments in plant foods, have been associated with cancer prevention. However, the content of anthocyanins in staple foods is typically low and the mechanisms by which they exert anticancer activity is not yet fully defined.
RESULTS
We selected an
The purpose of this study was to compare the effect of carbohydrate structure and digestibility on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis. Five groups of male Fischer 344 rats each comprising 30 animals were injected with AOM and fed a high-fat diet with 15% of various carbohydrates. The
Dietary fibre is believed to protect against a range of Western diseases, including colorectal cancer. Whole plant cell walls make up most of the dietary fibre in Western diets, but their role in disease protection has rarely been studied. At least in vitro, suberized plant cell walls possess novel
