Abstract
The influence of ferulic acid (FA) and 3-ethyl (4-geranyloxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-2- propenoate (EGMP) on the post-initiation stages of colon carcinogenesis was investigated in male F344 rats treated with azoxymethane (AOM). FA and EGMP were given in the diet at 0.1 or 0.2% starting at week 3 after with two s.c. 15mg/kg body weight injections of AOM on days 1 and 7. Sacrifice for quantitation of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) was performed at the end of week 5. Dose-dependent decreases in numbers of ACF were noted with EGMP cases of post-initiation exposure, large size lesions feeding considered most likely to be precursor lesions also being significantly reduced. In contrast, only feeding 0.2% FA diet had exert inhibiting effect on the incidence of ACF. No effects on body or liver weights were evident. Thus our present results suggest that EGMP may have a potential cancer chemopreventive agent in rat colon carcinogenesis model.
