Deoxycholic acid promotes the growth of colonic aberrant crypt foci
7 Nov 2006
Abstract excerpt
AKR/J mice are resistant to the tumorigenic properties of the colon carcinogen, azoxymethane (AOM). Following AOM exposure, limited numbers of preneoplastic lesions, referred to as aberrant crypt foci (ACF), are formed in the colon, and their progression to tumors rarely occurs. To determine whether genetic resistance can be overcome by exposure to a dietary tumor promoter, AOM-exposed AKR/J mice were fed a diet...
