Combination Therapy of 3-Methylcholanthrene-induced Mammary Carcinoma in Rats: Effect of Chemotherapy, Ovariectomy, and Food Restriction1
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth of mammary carcinoma induced by oral 3-methylcholanthrene in female Wistar rats is retarded by ovariectomy and by food restriction sufficient to produce 12-14% body weight loss. Estradici benzoate (NSC 9566), 5-fluorouracil (NSC 19893), miracil D (NSC 14574), mitomycin C (NSC 26980), and AB-100 (NSC 37095) showed inhibitory activity. The best tumor inhibition without mortality was elicited by ovariectomy com bined with food restriction, and by ovariectomy combined with estradici benzoate.

متن کاملEffects of 3-methylcholanthrene on the Endocrine System and Metabolism of the Rat and Its Influence to Retard Growth of Mammary Tumors Hitherto Refractory
The repeated administration of 3-methylcholanthrene to adolescent rats resulted in (a) a profound, incomplete, and selective depression of certain hypophyseal functions; (b) decreased growth of transplanted mammary tumors; and (c) a retardation of body growth. Only the last mentioned effect was reversed by forced feeding. The retarded rate of body growth induced by 3-methylcholanthrene was prev...
متن کاملInhibition of growth of established N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary cancer in rats by retinoic acid and ovariectomy.
Retinoids are effective in the prevention of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinoma; retinoids and hormonal therapy exert synergy in cancer prevention. In this study, we examined the effects of the dietary supplementation with all-trans retinoic acid (RA) alone or in combination with ovariectomy on the growth of established N-methyl-N- nitrosourea-induced mammary carcinomas in rats. I...
متن کاملEffect of Oleuropein Extract from Olive on Brain Oxidative Stress in Ovariectomized Diabetic Rats
Background and objectives: Increased oxidative stress and altered antioxidant levels play an essential role in the pathogenesis of diabetes mellitus. Menopause is associated with increased food intake, weight gain, metabolic disorders, and increased level of inflammatory and oxidative stress factors. This study evaluated effects of oleuropein extract on brain tissue and serum oxidative status i...
