Human large bowel neoplasia seems to be caused by environmental carcinogens. The experimental carcinogen, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), must be oxidized in the body to have effect. The antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and ascorbic acid, were tested for efficacy in prevention of
A diet containing 0.75% butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) did not enhance the development of lung tumors in A/J mice if fed for 8 weeks after administration of urethan, benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P), or dimethylnitrosamine (DMN). Prefeeding animals with BHA partially protected animals against the tumorigenic
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), at high doses, has been found to induce forestomach squamous cell carcinomas in rodents, but not glandular cell or other types of neoplasms. BHA is not DNA-reactive, and the epigenetic mechanism of tumor formation involves cytotoxicity and enhanced cell proliferation,
Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), a synthetic antioxidant is commonly used as a preservative in food and pharmaceutical agents. Despite the assumed low toxicity of BHA, it exerts a variety of effects on tissues and cell functions. In this study, the authors investigated the effects of BHA on the
The effects of photodynamic therapy (PDT) alone and in combination with 3(2)-t-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) on Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells have been investigated. BHA, a widely used food antioxidant, administered to the cells prior to light exposure is found to cause
The effect of t-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA), a widely used food antioxidant additive, on the culture growth, oxygen consumption, and redox state of some electron carriers of intact TA3 and 786A ascites tumor cells has been studied. BHA inhibited culture growth and respiration of these two tumor
Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) promote tumorigenesis because of their proangiogenic and immune-suppressive functions. Here, we report that butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) blocks occurrence of tumor associated macrophages (TAMs) in tobacco smoke carcinogen-induced lung tumorigenesis. Continuous
We have previously shown that specific antibodies (Mab 32/Ab 301) against tumour necrosis factor (TNF) enhance its antiviral activity in vaccinia virus-infected mice. In the present study, TNF alone was found to have antiviral activity against herpes simplex virus-1 (HSV-1). Antibody enhancement was
4-Hydroxyanisole (4-OHA) was administered to C57Bl/10J mice in which B16 melanoma or Lewis lung carcinoma had been implanted s.c. or i.m. The drug had the largest antitumour effect against B16 melanoma growing s.c. and a smaller antitumour effect against B16 melanoma or Lewis lung carcinoma growing
Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has been demonstrated to selectively decrease the production of type I and type III collagens in human dermal fibroblasts. The effects of the commonly used food antioxidants, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), alpha-tocopherol,
Both carcinogenic and anticarcinogenic properties have been reported for the synthetic antioxidants butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). The association between dietary intake of BHA and BHT and stomach cancer risk was investigated in the Netherlands Cohort Study (NLCS)
Some of the anticarcinogenic effects of 2(3)-tert-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (BHA) are attributable to the induction of detoxifying enzymes in the liver and peripheral tissues. This study was designed to determine if the tissue specificity of enzyme induction could be manipulated by structural
An investigation of changes in urine composition, morphology of bladder epithelium, and levels of DNA synthesis following 4 or 8 weeks oral administration of bladder tumor promoters or analogs without promotion potential was performed. The sodium salts of L-ascorbate, o-phenylphenate, and
The 2-Cys peroxiredoxins (Prx) belong to a family of antioxidant enzymes that detoxify reactive oxygen and nitrogen species and are distributed throughout the intracellular and extracellular compartments. However, the presence and role of 2-Cys Prxs in the nucleus have not been studied. This study
The effects of alpha-angelica lactone (alpha-AL), butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and beta-naphthoflavone (beta-NF) on the amount of benzo(alpha)pyrene (BP) metabolite:DNA adducts formed in the forestomach, lung, and liver of ICR/Ha mice were investigated 48 hr after p.o. administration of BP. BP
