Adult male Fischer rats were exposed to a necrogenic dose (200 mg/kg) of diethylnitrosamine or to nonnecrogenic doses of N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, or benzo(a)pyrene following partial hepatectomy or sham hepatectomy. This treatment by itself led to no hepatocellular carcinomas by 8 to 18 months, except in animals given N-methyl-N-nitrosourea, which showed a 30% incidence by ...

Adult male Fischer rats were exposed to a necrogenic dose (200 mg/kg) of diethylnitrosamine or to nonnecrogenic doses of N-methyl-W-nitrosourea, 1,2-dimethylhydrazine, or benzo(a)pyrene following partial hepatectomy or sham hepatectomy. This treatment by itself led to no hepatocellular carcinomas by 8 to 18 months, except in animals given A/-methyl-A/-nitrosourea, which showed a 30% incidence b...

Dietary restriction has been shown to have several health benefits including increased insulin sensitivity, stress resistance, reduced morbidity, and increased life span. The mechanism remains unknown, but the need for a long-term reduction in caloric intake to achieve these benefits has been assumed. We report that when C57BL6 mice are maintained on an intermittent fasting (alternate-day fasti...

A group of young patients having multiple sclerosis was treated with dietary supplements containing calcium, magnesium and vitamin D for a period of one to two years. The experimental design employed self-pairing: the response of each patient was compared with his/her own case history as control. The number of exacerbations observed during the program was less than one half the number expected ...

Breast-feeding may expose infants to high levels of toxic chlorinated dioxins. To diminish intake of these lipophilic compounds by the baby, two diets were tested for their ability to reduce concentrations of dioxins in human milk. The diets were a low-fat/high- carbohydrate/low-dioxin diet. (about 20% of energy intake derived from fat) and a high fat /low-carbohydrate/low-dioxin diet. These di...

OBJECTIVE To identify associated factors to compliance for multiple micronutrient (MM) or iron and vitamin A (IVITA) supplementation, in children (3 to 24 months old). MATERIALS AND METHODS A database (n=465 children) from a randomized, controlled, clinical trial, carried out in a semi-rural setting in Mexico, was analyzed. The compliance rate of MM and IVITA supplements was calculated. Adequ...

The spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR) of Okamoto and Aoki (4) develops significant hypertension without added dietary salt. Many patients with hypertension have little or no alteration in blood pressure from increments or decrements of salt intake. Such observations have led to a widespread belief that dietary NaCl is important in hypertensives only if blood pressure changes are observed aft...

Few systematic data are available on the range of individual blood lipid responsiveness to specific diet changes. Multiple, carefully standardized total serum cholesterol (TC) measurements were made in 58 men under a variety of controlled dietary conditions. Responsiveness was defined for each individual as the change in mean TC per unit change in Diet Score based on the Keys-Minnesota equation...
