چکیده
Female Sprague-Dawley 5-day-old rats were given s.c. either 0.05 ml sesame oil, 1.25 mg progesterone, 0.1 mg estradici benzoate, or 1.25 mg testosterone propionate. At 55 days of age all rats were given 20 mg of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) by stomach tube. All rats were killed at 190 days of age. Both the estradiol and the testosterone propionate treatments decreased the mammary adenocarcinoma response to DMBA and increased the mammary fibroadenoma response to DMBA. Both es tradiol benzoateand testosterone propionate-treated rats exhibited fewer developing ovarian follicles and no corpora lutea. Only testosterone propionate-treated rats exhibited lactation. Progesterone treatment increased the mammary adenocarcinoma response to DMBA and was without effect on the mammary fibroadenoma response to DMBA and ovarian structure.

Objective- Breast cancer is one of the most serious problems in oncology. Alkaloids pyrrolizidine are widely found in nature and exhibited versatile biological activities. The aim of the present study was to assess anti-tumor activity of methyl 1,3-dioxo-1,1',2',3,5',6',7',7a'-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3'-pyrrolizidine]-2'-carboxylate (6) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary ...

The effect of the prostaglandin synthetase inhibitor indomethacin on the dietary fat enhancement of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a) anthracene-induced mammary tumorigenesis has been exam ined in female Sprague-Dawley rats. Rats were fed either a normal-fat or high-fat diet (5 or 18% corn oil, respectively) with or without 0.004% indomethacin, starting 3 days after a single intragastric intubation of 5 mg ...
