aberrant crypt foci/zea mays

Modulating effects of high fat fish oil (HFFO) and high fat corn oil (HFCO) diets on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were studied in male F344 rats following 8 weeks of dietary treatment. The incidence of AOM-induced ACF was significantly lower in the proximal colon of

We investigated whether sodium butyrate, administered orally as gastroresistant slow-release pellets to rats, could affect markers of colon carcinogenesis. F344 male rats were fed a high-fat diet (230 g/kg corn oil, wt/wt) and treated with two injections (1 wk apart) of azoxymethane (15 mg/kg sc) or

A major objective of the present study was to determine whether a high-fat diet affects early events during colon carcinogenesis. Female Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with saline or azoxymethane (20 mg/kg) and fed either a normal (5% corn oil w/w) or a high (5% corn oil and 15% beef tallow w/w)

Bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and bromoform (TBM) have been demonstrated to be colon carcinogens in male and female F344/N rats following administration by corn oil gavage. Our chronic bioassay of BDCM administered in the drinking water failed to demonstrate colon cancer in male F344/N rats. In the

The effect of a high vitamin E diet on the early stages of colon carcinogenesis and on the proliferative indexes in the colon and in the prostate glands was investigated in rats. F344 male rats were injected with azoxymethane (AOM, 15 mg/kg sc). One week later, animals were randomly allocated into

BACKGROUND Our studies were aimed at investigating the effect of lactic acid producing bacteria (LAB) or inulin, a natural source of non-digestible oligosaccharides derived from chicory, on the induction by carcinogens of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the colon, which are considered to be early

The modifying effect of dietary tuna (Thunnus thynnus orientalis) orbital oil rich in docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and vitamin D3 (VD3) on the development of azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was investigated in male F344 rats. Animals were given three weekly subcutaneous

BACKGROUND Some epidemiological and experimental studies suggest that olive oil, despite its elevated caloric content, may have protective activity against colon cancer, partially due to its phenolic content. However, little experimental evidence exists to support this claim in vivo. OBJECTIVE To

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):

The main objective of the present study was to investigate the amenability of preneoplastic lesions at different developmental stages to the growth-regulatory effects of two types of dietary lipids. F344 male rats were given three injections of azoxymethane (15 mg/kg) and fed a low-fat corn oil diet

Bromodichloromethane (BDCM) and tribromomethane given by corn oil gavage were previously found to induce neoplasia in the large intestine of rats. Our chronic bioassay of BDCM administered in drinking water failed to produce colon neoplasia in male F344/N rats. We recently reported that BDCM induces

Acrylamide, a known rodent and a probable human carcinogen, is spontaneously formed in foods cooked at high temperature. We studied the role of dietary acrylamide in modulating the early stages of colon carcinogenesis and assessed if dietary fat level was critical in altering the effects of

The chemopreventive effects of high fat microalgal oil diet on azoxymethane (AOM)-induced colonic aberrant crypt foci (ACF) were studied in male Fischer 344 rats following 8 weeks of dietary treatment. These effects were compared to the effects of high fat fish oil and high fat corn oil diets to

How dietary corn oil is involved in colon carcinogenesis and cancer development is poorly understood. The aim of this study was to investigate whether long-term dietary corn oil promotes colon cancer by inhibiting the tumor suppressor gene p53-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in

To investigate whether simultaneous exposure to acrylamide (ACR) and long-term dietary corn oil induces colon cancer by inhibiting the tumor suppressor gene p53-mediated mitochondria-dependent apoptosis in rats. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were given intraperitoneal injections of ACR at dose of 10
