Obesity is an established risk factor for colorectal cancer. Pioglitazone is a peroxisome proliferator- activated receptor γ(PPARγ) agonist that induces differentiation in adipocytes and induces growth arrest and/or apoptosis in vitro in several cancer cell lines. In the present study, we
Although aberrant crypt foci (ACF) are estimated to have potential usefulness as a biomarker for colorectal carcinoma (CRC), this remains uncertain because the natural history of ACF has not been well-clarified. To determine the usefulness of ACF as a surrogate marker for CRC, it is necessary to
Catalpa (Catalpa ovata) seed oil (CPO) is a unique oil that contains a high amount of 9trans,11trans,13cis-conjugated linolenic acid. In the present study, we investigated whether dietary administration with CPO affects the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF)
BACKGROUND
Obesity and energy restriction modulate the development of precancerous aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in animal models of colon cancer.
OBJECTIVE
Investigation of the major obesity-associated determinants for ACF-development and underlying mechanisms leading to ACF-modulation, such as changes
We speculated that a diet with a high glycemic index (GI) or a diet with a low nutrient density (nutrient-to-calorie ratio) would enhance colon carcinogenesis, presumably via increased insulin resistance. Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats received an azoxymethane injection (20 mg/kg) and were
Obesity markedly increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Recently, the preventive effects of edible mushrooms on triglyceride elevation and visceral fat accumulation have been reported. Here, the effects of Pleurotus eryngii (Eringi) and Hypsizygus marmoreus (Bunashimeji) on azoxymethane
The similarity in lifestyle risk factors for the development of colorectal cancer (CRC) and type 2 diabetes suggests that there are common underlying pathogenic mechanisms. High-risk lifestyle factors may lead to insulin resistance that, through increased circulating levels of energy substrates,
The present study investigated the relationship between intestinal bifidobacteria and intake of commercial dietary oils of different fatty acids compositions on the development of aberrant crypt foci (ACF). Wistar rats were grouped according to diet and treatment with dimethylhydrazine (DMH):
Seeds of Sinapis alba Linn. (commonly called yellow or white mustard) and their components have been reported to possess anticancer properties. In this study, we evaluated the efficacy of a novel mucilaginous fraction of mustard seeds in inhibiting colonic preneoplastic changes in animal models of
The main objective of the present study was to test the hypothesis that exogenous insulin would enhance colon carcinogenesis. Thirty-six female Fischer 344 rats were fed ad libitum a low-fat rodent chow and given a single azoxymethane injection (20 mg/kg); one week later, they were randomized into
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 polyphenols are important potential chemopreventive natural agents. Other agents, such as citrus compounds, are also candidates for cancer chemopreventives. They act on multiple key elements in signal transduction pathways related to cellular proliferation, differentiation, apoptosis,
Sesame, which has been reported to have preventive effects against various disordered conditions, contains small quantities of lignans and several precursors to them such as sesaminol glucosides (SG). The lignans have the potent antioxidative activity and are suggested to have chemopreventive
Lactobacillus acidophilus KFRI342, isolated from the Korean traditional food kimchi, was investigated for its suitability as a dietary probiotic. The effects of L. acidophilus KFRI342 on the development of chemically induced (1,2-dimethylhydrazine; DMH) precancerous cytological changes of the colon
Azoxymethane (AOM) is a potent genotoxic carcinogen which specifically induces colon cancer. Hyperlipidemia and diabetes have several influences on colon cancer development, with genetic and environmental exposure aspects. Here, we investigated plasma lipid and glucose concentrations in Kunming mice
