โฆ Synopsis
Wistar rats of different age and sex received a single intragastric instillation of
7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene ( D M B A )
. During the following 16 months, 136 of 284 rats developed 182 tumors, of which haw were malignant. Among 98 untreated controls, 8 rats developed tumors, of which 4 were malignant. Among the youngest groups (8-15 days) exposed to DMBA, fibroadenoma of the breast in females and subcutaneous sarcoma in both sexes were the most frequent. Among young adult females (6-8 weeks), mammary carcinoma predominated; older females (26 week5) had less breast tumors, Among adult males, epidermoid carcinoma and papilloma of the skin were most frequent. Castration suppressed development of breast canwr.

We examined the effect of consumption of graded increases of dietary fiber (soft white wheat bran) on the development of mammary gland carcinomas in intact female Sprague-Dawley rats during the promotion stage of carcinogenesis, induced with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA).

The presence of ER in DMBA-tumors was demonstrated by the use of dextrancharcoal assay, sephadex chromatography, sucrose gradient sedimentation, and organ culture techniques. It was found that tumors have binding sites ranging from 10-" to 10-l' moles/mg protein, and a dissociation constant of ER 10
