Abstract

The effect of exogenous administration of human placental lactogen (HPL) on 7,12‐dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)‐induced mammary tumors was studied in female Sprague‐Dawley rats. Twice daily injections of 1 or 2 mg HPL for 20 days showed marked stimulation of appearance and growth of mammary tumors and of normal mammary gland growth not only in intact but also in adreno‐ovariectomized rats. These results suggest that placental lactogen plays an important role in the growth of DMBA‐induced mammary tumor of rat and that it acts on mammary tumorigenesis during pregnancy both directly and indirectly through its promotion of progesterone secretion by the ovary.

## Abstract Lariciresinol is a dietary lignan that accounts for a significant portion of the total phytoestrogen intake from Western foods. Recent epidemiological studies suggest that high dietary intake of lignans and lariciresinol is associated with reduced breast cancer risk. However, no causal

Mammary turnours were induced in rats by intragastric administration of 3-methylcholanthrene. More than 75% of the tumours attained palpable size between 3 and I 1 weeks after the last dose of the carcinogen. Adrenalectomy did not inhibit the growth of tumours already present and appeared even to en
