The effects of whole green tea infusion on mouse urinary bladder chemical carcinogenesis

چکیده
OBJECTIVE(S) Green tea (GT) is one of the most popular beverages worldwide whose beneficial effects on health have been demonstrated. Recent studies suggest that GT may contribute to reduction of cancer risk and progression. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of whole GT on urinary bladder chemical carcinogenesis in male and female ICR mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS The GT characterization was performed using spectrophotometric methods. Urinary bladder lesions were induced using N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) by gavage during 10 weeks and whole GT (0.5%) was provided ad libitum during 20 weeks. RESULTS Animals from groups BBN+GT and BBN only developed preneoplastic lesions. CONCLUSION We did not observe any effects by GT infusion administration on urinary bladder cancer development.

The effect of p.o. administration of tea on nitrosamine-induced carcinogenesis was investigated. Female A/J mice were given /V-nitrosodioth) lamine (NDEA) (10 mg/kg) p.o. once a week for 8 weeks and were killed 16 weeks after the last dose. More than 90% of the mice had forestomach and lung tumors. The animals had an average of 8.3 forestomach and 2.5 lung tumors/mouse. With 0.63 or 1.25% green...
