چکیده

The growth of mammary carcinoma induced by oral 3-methylcholanthrene in female Wistar rats is retarded by ovariectomy and by food restriction sufficient to produce 12-14% body weight loss. Estradici benzoate (NSC 9566), 5-fluorouracil (NSC 19893), miracil D (NSC 14574), mitomycin C (NSC 26980), and AB-100 (NSC 37095) showed inhibitory activity. The best tumor inhibition without mortality was elicited by ovariectomy com bined with food restriction, and by ovariectomy combined with estradici benzoate.

Effects of 3-methylcholanthrene on the Endocrine System and Metabolism of the Rat and Its Influence to Retard Growth of Mammary Tumors Hitherto Refractory

The repeated administration of 3-methylcholanthrene to adolescent rats resulted in (a) a profound, incomplete, and selective depression of certain hypophyseal functions; (b) decreased growth of transplanted mammary tumors; and (c) a retardation of body growth. Only the last mentioned effect was reversed by forced feeding. The retarded rate of body growth induced by 3-methylcholanthrene was prev...

Effect of epinephrine and cortisol on fasting-induced ghrelin secretion in male rats fed different levels of their energy requirement

Introduction: ghrelin is a potent orexigenic agent in rodents and humans. Some studies have shown that ghrelin participates in the adaptive response to weight loss and plasma concentration of ghrelin rises with dieting. On the other hand, weight loss and fasting is accompanied by increased levels of epinephrine and cortisol. In this study, we investigated the effects of epinephrine and corti...

Inhibition of growth of established N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary cancer in rats by retinoic acid and ovariectomy.

Retinoids are effective in the prevention of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinoma; retinoids and hormonal therapy exert synergy in cancer prevention. In this study, we examined the effects of the dietary supplementation with all-trans retinoic acid (RA) alone or in combination with ovariectomy on the growth of established N-methyl-N- nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinomas in rats. I...
