ascites/zea mays

The present investigation was undertaken to assess whether aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) has any modulatory effect on the growth and progression of Ehrlich's ascites tumor (EAT) in mice or not. Male Swiss albino mice were treated with 0, 70, 350 and 700 micrograms AFB1/kg body weight in 0.2 ml corn oil on

Intragastric feeding of dimethylbenz-[a]anthracene in corn oil together with urethane in the drinking water and forced breeding were successful in rapidly inducing (2-4 months) mammary tumors (adenoacanthomas) in inbred NYLR/Nya mice, which have a low incidence of spontaneous breast tumors and of

Omega-3 fatty acids, abundant in fish oil, are reported to alter membrane properties when incorporated into membrane phospholipids. We report that dietary omega-3 fatty acids, incorporated into tumor cell membranes, alter tumor recognition and cytolysis by the immune system. Mice were fed diets rich

Mice of the GR/A strain were fed four different isocaloric semipurified diets, enriched in either (1) saturated fatty acids (palm oil), or (2) polyunsaturated fatty acids (corn oil), or (3) palm oil plus cholesterol, or (4) a fat-poor diet containing only a minimal amount of essential fatty acids.

The effects of dietary fish oil (FO) on serum lipid levels and tumor proliferation were studied in Donryu rats subcutaneously implanted with the ascites hepatoma cell line AH109A. Solid tumor weight was significantly less and serum total cholesterol (T-Ch) level significantly lower in the groups fed

We have hypothesized that part of the toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) is mediated by interaction with the estrogen receptor complex. The experiments reported here investigate the interactions of TCDD with agonists and antagonists of the estrogen receptor. CD-1 female mice were

Rations containing 25% of either regular rapeseed oil (36% erucic acid), Oro rapeseed oil (1.9% erucic acid), soybean oil or a mixture of lard and corn oil were fed to chickens, ducks and turkeys. The regular rapeseed oil ration caused growth depression, increased feed conversion and anemia in all

The effect of dietary fish oil on serum lipid levels was studied by comparing it with dietary corn oil in Donryu rats subcutaneously implanted with an ascites hepatoma cell line (AH109A). The hepatoma-bearing rats exhibited hyperlipidemia characterized by a rise in both serum cholesterol and

Pregnane X receptor (PXR) is a ligand-activated transcription factor and nuclear receptor expressed ubiquitously along gut-liver-axis. Inflammatory bowel disorders have been reported to implicate PXR in maintaining tight junction (TJ) integrity and countering
