DNA adduct formation, cell proliferation and aberrant crypt focus formation induced by PhIP in male and female rat colon with relevance to carcinogenesis
1 Jan 1996
Abstract excerpt
2-Amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP) induces colon tumors in male, but not female, F344 rats. We investigated the mechanisms leading to this difference by measuring the level of PhIP-DNA adducts, the enhancement of cell proliferation and aberrant crypt focus (ACF) formation in colon mucosa. PhIP was administered in the diet at a level of 0.04% to both male and female F344 rats for 1-8 weeks. The...
