High-Fat Diets and Fecal Level of Reductase and Colon Mucosal Level of Ornithine Decarboxylase, B-Glucuronidase, 5'-Nucleotidase, ATPase, and Esterase in Mice.
(Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1984)In one experiment Swiss mice were maintained on a 16 or 23% fat diet (laboratory chow with added fat, principally corn on) or on laboratory chow alone (5.5% fat), In another experiment CS7BU1 mice were given a 23% fat ... -
Simplicity - the key to fruitful medical research
(Medical Hypotheses, 1985)Medical research is here divided -into two broad categories. The great majority of research is "complex" and includes all studies of intricate body mechanisms. A minority of research is "simple" and deals mainly ... -
Dietary fats in health
(Journal of Nutrition, Growth and Cancer, 1985)This review examines the relationship between dietary fat intake and health. ,Heal produced by modem farming methods has a high fat content in comparison with its natural counterpart and, furthermore, the fat is low in ... -
Changes in pH and levels of B-glucosidase, B-glucuronidase and reducing activity as food residue passes along the mouse colon
(Journal of Nutrition, Growth and Cancer, 1985)The contents were collected from successive regions of the colon of Swiss mice. Ana(vses show that the pH rises by about 0.55 pH units between the cecum and the distal colon. The level of p-glucuronidase falls sharply, ... -
Toxicity of 1,2-dimethlyhydrazine in mice: effect of diet and development of tolerance
(Journal of Food Safety, 1985)The effect of diet on the lethality of 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) injections was investigated using Swiss mice. Mortality was highest when mice were fed a nutrient-dilutealfhigh-fat diet, was intermediate with a ... -
The scent glands of Opiliones: a review of their function.
(Smithsonian Institution Press, 1986)Opilionids are unique among the arachnids in that they possess a pair of glands that open dorsally near the lateral edge of the prosoma. These glands are variously called scent, odoriferous, repugnatory, or stink glands ... -

Cabbage and vitamin E: their effect on colon tumor formation in mice.
(Cancer Letters, 1987)The effects of cabbage and vitamin E on colon carcinogenesis were investigated in Swiss mice treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. Throughout the experiment the mice were fed a laboratory chow diet (46 mg vitamin E per ... -
Effect of high fat and nutrient depleted diets on colon tumor formation in mice.
(Cancer Letters, 1987)We investigated the effect of high fat and nutrient depleted diets on the formation of colon tumors in female Swiss mice treated with 1,2- dimethylhydrazine (DMH). Mice received the following diets: control diet (laboratory ... -
Protective effect of beta carotene against colon tumors in mice.
(Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1987)The effect of dietary beta carotene on colon carcinogenesis Induced by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine «DMH) CAS: 540-73-81 was studied in female inbred Swiss Webster (ICR) mice. At age 10 weeks and continuing throughout the ... -
High fat and nutrient depleted diets and the metabolic profile of feces and colon mucosa of mice.
(Journal of Nutrition, Growth and Cancer, 1987)Swiss and C57BL/1 mice were fed one of the folio wing diets: commercial laboratory chow (5.5 percent fat) or chow with added starch and/or corn oil so as 10 supply a fat level of 5.5 or 23 percent, while reducing the ... -
Effect of Dietary Beta-Carotene on Hepatic Drug-Metabolizing Enzymes in Mice
(Journal of Clinical Biochemistry and Nutrition, 1987)The effects of dietary supplements of beta-carotene (20-500 mg per kg diet) on hepatic microsomal drug-metabolizing enzyme activities were studied in mice. Supplementation for 14 days resulted in marked reductions in ... -
Role of selenium and cabbage in colon carcinogenesis in mice.
(Journal of the National Cancer Institute, 1987)The influence of dietary selenium and cabbage on the formation of colon tumors in female Swiss mice treated with 1,2.dimethylhydrazine [(DMH) CAS: 540-73-8] was reported. Mice received a control diet (laboratory chow), ... -
Dietary fibre and the mouse colon: its influence on luminal pH, reducing activity, bile acid binding and cell proliferation.
(Cancer Letters, 1988)Female, Swiss mice were fed semi-synthetic diets for 33 days. The diets were fibre-free (FF) or supplemented with corn bran (CB) 12°~, wheat bran (WB) 12%, alfalfa (AL) 12oh, pectin (P) BOh, cellulose (CL) 6%, or lignin ... -
Does Beta-Carotene Prevent Cancer? A Critical Appraisal
(Nutrition Research, 1988)The possible role of beta-carotene as a protective nutrient against cancer is reviewed. Human prospective and retrospective studies strongly indicate that beta-carotene protects against lung cancer and probably against ... -
