Effects of Dietary Xanthophylls, Canthaxanthin and Astaxanthin on N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced Rat Mammary Carcinogenesis.
BACKGROUND Natural xanthophylls, canthaxanthin and astaxanthin are known to exhibit anticancer activity. However, the dietary effects of canthaxanthin and astaxanthin on N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced mammary cancer remain controversial, and their mechanisms of action have not been clearly identified. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a xanthophyll...
متن کاملAnalysis of caspase activities in rat mammary tumours induced by N-methyl-nitrosourea.
Normal breast development is controlled by a balance between cell proliferation and apoptosis. The balance between the two parameters is crucial for determining the growth or regression of breast tumours in response to therapies and treatments. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the role of apoptosis in tumour progression. Active caspases participate as essential elements in the execution...
متن کاملEffects of sex difference, gonadectomy, and estrogen on N-methyl-N-nitrosourea induced rat thyroid tumors.
The occurrence of thyroid tumors induced by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) and low iodine diet in Long-Evans (LE) rats was studied with special reference to sex difference, effect of gonadectomy, and estradiol administration. Rats of experimental groups 1-6 were given i.v. injections of 40 mg of MNU/kg of body weight at 50 days of age and fed on low iodine diet from 28 days of age to the end of t...
متن کاملN -Methyl- N -nitrosourea-induced Renal Tumors in Rats: Immunohistochemical Comparison to Human Wilms Tumors
N-Methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced renal tumors in rats and Wilms tumors in humans were compared. Renal mesenchymal tumors (RMTs) and nephroblastomas (blastemal and epithelial components) in female Lewis rats treated with a single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg MNU at birth and Wilms tumors (blastemal, epithelial and mesenchymal components) in humans were analyzed for the expression of...
متن کاملMetabolism of retinol and retinoic acid in N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinomas in rats.
This study was conducted to examine the in vivo uptake and metabolism of natural retinoids by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinomas. In this study, endogenous retinol and retinyl esters were present in normal mammary epithelial cells, but were undetectable in N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinomas in rats as determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography. No difference...
