Abstract: | Summary The effect of a dietary antioxidant mixture on 3-methylcholanthrene mediated carcinogenesis in hairless mice was investigated. The antioxidant mixture significantly reduced the frequency of premalignant lesions and their subsequent development into tumors. The similarities in response of chemical and UV light-carcinogenesis to these antioxidants suggest some congruity in the mechanisms of the carcinogenic process.This investigation was supported by National Research Service Award 1 F32 CA05062, awarded by the National Cancer Institute, DHEW and USPH grant CA13464 from the NCI, DHEW. We thank Dr John I. Thornby for statistical analysis of the data. |
