Abstract

The effects of feeding a choline‐devoid (CD) or a choline‐supplemented (CS) diet on the induction of liver tumors in rats by 2‐acetylaminofluorene (AAF) were investigated. Male Sprague‐Dawley rats were fed either a CD or a CS diet containing 0.0075% AAF. Three to eight animals were killed 1, 3, 4 and 6 months thereafter. Well to moderately well differentiated hepatocellular carcinomas developed in 50% and 75% of rats fed the CD+AAF diet for 4 and 6 months, respectively. Cholangiocarcinomas developed, after 6 months, in 38% of the animals. No tumor developed in rats fed the CS+AAF diet. The results extend to AAF those previously obtained with DL‐ethionine and azaserine showing that feeding a CD diet greatly potentiates the induction in rats of liver tumors by chemical carcinogens.

To determine whether the chronic consumption of ethanol was capable of enhancing the hepatocarcinogenic activity of diethylnitrosamine per se, or through the accentuation of a methyl deficiency, two groups (A and B) of Sprague-Dawley female rats were fed for 10 months either a 20% casein basal diet

## Abstract Following previous findings that feeding a choline‐deficient (CD) diet to rats strongly promotes the evolution of liver cells, initiated by a chemical carcinogen, to foci of y‐glutamyltranspeptidase (yGT)‐positive hepatocytes, we investigated whether a CD diet could also promote the evo

The age dependence of the oval cell response and bile duct carcinomas of male F344 rats exposed to a cyclic choline deficiency-ethionine (CDE) diet (2 weeks on, 1 week off ) supports the concept of loss of potential of liver stem cells to form cancers with aging. Livers of rats exposed at 3 weeks of
