Enhancement of Mammary Carcinogenesis by a High-Fat Diet in Fischer, Long-Evans, and Sprague-Dawley Rats1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The relationship between dietary fat and mammary carcinogenesis was examined by feeding a high-fat or a low-fat purified diet, differing only in fat and carbohydrate content, to Fischer, Long-Evans, and Sprague-Dawley rats. An additional group of rats from each strain was fed a nonpurified laboratory diet for comparison. The rats were given an i.v. dose of A/-nitrosomethylurea (50 mg/kg body weight) at 50 days of age. The results showed that (a) a high-fat purified diet significantly enhanced mammary carcinogenesis; (b) a nonpurified labora tory diet retarded mammary carcinogenesis compared to a lowfat purified diet; (c) rats on three different diets had a similar body weight gain; (d) the susceptibility of W-nitrosomethylureainduced mammary carcinogenesis in the three strains of rats was in the order of Sprague-Dawley > Fischer > Long-Evans; and (e) Fischer rats appeared to be better suited for further systematic studies of dietary fat and mammary carcinogenesis.

متن کاملEffects of High Dietary Fat on the Growth and Development of Ovarian-independent Carcinogen-induced Mammary Tumors in Rats1
This study examined the influence of high dietary fat intake on the development of ovarian-independent mammary tumors in both vehicle-treated controls and rats made deficient in estrogen and prolactin during tumor induction. The majority of 7,12dimethylbenz(a)anthracene(DMBA)-induced mammary tumors in rats are dependent on estrogen and prolactin for growth, and suppression of prolactin and estr...
متن کاملDietary Fat versus Caloric Content in Initiation and Promotion of 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced Mammary Tumorigenesis in Rats1
Enhancement of mammary tumor formation by dietary fat may be mediated via increased caloric intake. Three experiments were performed to study this relationship in 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats: (a) highor low-fat isocaloric diets were fed in a crossover design; (b) low-fat, high-calorie and high-fat, low-calorie diets were fed in a crossover design; (c...
متن کاملEvaluating the effects of metformin on irisin and serum biochemical parameters in male sprague-dawley rats fed by a high-fat emulsion diet
Irisin is a myokine secreted mostly by muscles after exercise, and its secretion level changes in metabolic disorders. The aim of present study was to investigate the effect of metformin on changes in the levels of plasma irisin, blood glucose and insulin resistance in male Sprague-Dawley rats receiving a high-fat emulsion diet. Twenty-four rats were divided into a normal control group (n = 8) ...
متن کاملEffects of Dietary Fat, Calcium, and Vitamin D on Growth and Mammary Tumorigenesis Induced by 7,12-Dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in Female Sprague-Dawley Rats1
This study was designed to test the influence of dietary calcium and vitamin D levels on the promotional effect of high-fat diets on chemically induced mammary carcinogenesis. In a small preliminary experiment (Experiment A), 40 female Sprague-Dawley rats, 43 days old, were randomly divided into 5 groups (8 rats/group) and fed a semipurified diet containing 3% sunflower seed oil (SF) by weight,...
