چکیده
The therapeutic effects of alpha-difluoromethylornithine (DFMO) on rats with bladder tumors induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) were examined. Eight-week-old male Wistar rats were given 0.05% BBN in their drinking water for a period of 4 weeks. Therapy (0.1% DFMO in their drinking water) was started at week 4 and all rats were killed at week 60. DFMO was seen to significantly reduce the incidence, the mean number and the total size of tumors. No side-effects of DFMO were noted, except alopecia, which started at month 7 of the therapy.

Inhibition of urinary bladder tumors induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine in rats by green tea.
BACKGROUND Recently, the anticarcinogenic effects of green tea have been studied in sites other than the urinary tract. The present study examined the inhibition by green tea of vesical tumors induced in rats by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN). METHODS In the first series of experiments, 0.05% BBN was added to the drinking water of rats and remained present for 5 weeks. In one ex...

The effect of a delay in starting 13-cis-retinoic acid treatment on the inhibition of urinary bladder carcinoma induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine was studied in male Fischer 344 rats. Animals received a total p.o. dose of either 1200, 1800 or 2400 mg N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine over a period of six weeks. At either one, five, and nine weeks after the last N-butyl-N-(4-h...

The potential enhancing effects of the regeneration response of the urothelium following ulceration of the bladder mucosa on N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine carcinogenesis were examined in male Fischer rats. The carcinogen was administered in the drinking water at a concentration of 0.05% for 2 weeks. Ulceration was performed by a freezing technique 24 hr before the administration or 24 h...

The tumor-promoting effect of uracil-induced calculi on rat urinary bladder carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats pretreated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN). Since uracil-induced calculi and papillomatosis of the bladder are reversible, uracil was given for a limited period after the treatment with BBN. Animals were given 0.05% BBN in their drinking water for 4 wk a...
