Lignan precursors from flaxseed or rye bran do not protect against the development of intestinal neoplasia in ApcMin mice.

Abstract excerpt

Phytoestrogens, like isoflavonoids and lignans, have been postulated as possible colorectal cancer protective constituents. To investigate this hypothesis, two high-fiber sources rich in lignan precursors, i.e., rye bran and flaxseed, were tested for their ability to modulate intestinal tumor development in ApcMin mice. Test diets consisted of a control diet (a Western-style diet, adjusted for fiber and/or...
