چکیده

The effects of several dietary supplements of antioxidants and enzyme inducers on ultraviolet light-mediated carcinogenesis were investigated. Glutathione (reduced) was without effect, but butylated hydroxytoluene, phenobarbital, and disulfiram all significantly suppressed the initiation and development of actinic lesions and tumors. On the basis of the present study and related previous ones, tumor inhibition appears to be due not to an umbrageous effect but rather to the induction of systemic physiological responses.

The effect of visible light on the carcinogenicity of ultraviolet light.

Several investigators have reported that white light will counteract the effects produced in lower organisms exposed to ultraviolet light. Whitaker (14) has observed that the inhibitory effects of ul traviolet on fucus eggs could be counteracted by white light. Kelner (6)-has demonstrated spectac ular recoveries of various micro-organisms in activated with ultraviolet. Blum and Matthews (3) hav...

Role of Dietary Fat in Ultraviolet Light–Induced Carcinogenic Expression

The indictment of fat as a dietary constituent that potentiates carcinogenesis arose from a study of Watson and Mellanby in 1930 [1]. Animal diets containing high levels of butterfat (12.5-25%) were shown to enhance coal tar-induced skin tumor formation. After this seminal observation, intense investigations of the effects of dietary fat on chemically-induced carcinogenesis were conducted durin...

The effect of certain diets on hepatic tumor formation due to m-methyl-p-dimethylaminoazobenzene and o'methyl-p-dimethylaminoazobenzene.

It has repeatedly been demonstrated that the nature of the diet can influence the rate at which hepatic tumors develop in rats fed p-dimethylaminoazobenzene. Dietary factors that retard the formation of such tumors include riboflavin (6, 14), hydrogenated coconut oil (10, 11) and several others. Dietary factors that accelerate tumor formation under these conditions include the crude mixture of ...
