✦ Synopsis
Male Copenhagen x Fischer F1 rats were implanted with Dunning R3327H prostatic carcinoma, castrated when the tumours became palpable and were then treated with testosterone, testosterone in combination with oestradiol or oestradiol alone for four weeks. Treatment with oestradiol produced the smallest tumours. The testosterone-stimulated growth of tumours was inhibited by oestradiol. The adenocarcinoma was moderately to well-differentiated. Morphometric analysis of the composition of the tumours showed that oestradiol stimulated tumour stroma and inhibited glandular epithelium. These effects were produced concomitantly with decreased overall tumour growth. Testosterone stimulated all cell types of the tumour.

BACKGROUND. Turosteride (FCE 26073) is a new, potent, and selective 5␣-reductase inhibitor. We have investigated its effect on tumor growth, organ weight, and serum hormone levels in rats bearing the androgen sensitive Dunning R3327 prostatic carcinoma. METHODS. Animals with tumor diameters of 0.5-1
The influence of tobacco smoke has been investigated on the growth rate and histology of prostate cancer, both in untreated tumors and in those subjected to fractionated irradiation. METHODS. Twenty-five rats were implanted bilaterally with Dunning R3327 tumor fragments at 10 weeks of age. Approxima
The effects of three compounds known to have hypocholesterolemic activity in several species were investigated on the rat prostate and the hormone-dependent R-3327 rat prostatic adenocarcinoma. Cholestyramine, colestipol, and ADR-132 are bile acid-sequestering anion exchange resins which were fed to
## Background: Turosteride, a selective 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, was reported to be effective in inhibiting the growth of established tumors in the dunning r3327 rat prostatic carcinoma model. we evaluated the preventive effect of turosteride when administered during the latency period in this p
## METHODS. Dunning R3327 PAP prostate tumors were transplanted in 125 rats, the rats were divided into five groups, and tumor development was examined for 24 weeks during treatment with diets containing 33% of soy flour (SD), rye bran (RB), heat-treated rye bran (HRB), or rye endosperm (RE). RESU
