## Abstract We evaluated the role of polyamines in arginineβdependent intestinal tumorigenesis in __Apc^Min^__^/+^ mice. Arginine is a substrate for ornithine synthesis and thus can influence polyamine production. Supplementing the diet with arginine increased intestinal and colonic polyamine level

The effects of short- and long-term diabetes on the maximal activities of phosphate-dependent glutaminase and glutamine metabolism were studied in the colon and the small intestine of streptozotocin-diabetic rats. The maximal activity of colonic phosphate-dependent glutaminase was decreased [44% in
Urinary diversion in both a rat model for ureterosigmoidostomy and in ureterosigmoidostomy patients result in an increased incidence of colon tumours. Bacterial and chemical investigations on feces-urine mixtures from both the rat model and ureterosigmoidostomy patients showed the presence of a comp
The colonic carcinogen I ,Z-dimethylhydmzine (DMH) was given to male rats at I 0 weeks of age in the form of weekly S.C. injections for 28 weeks. The results obtained show that the incidence of colonic cancer is directly dependent on dietary fat intake and that carcinogens which produce colonic canc
