Popis: | Young virgin female Swiss Webster mice were fed AIN-76A semi-purified diets containing equal weights of different fats for approximately 30 days. Using [3H]thymidine radioautography, it was established that mice fed 100% lard or high levels of fish oils (menhaden oil or cod liver oil) developed elevated cellular proliferation in the duct cells of the mammary gland and an increased number of labeled cells/crypt in the crypts of the colo-rectum accompanied by an increase in the size of the proliferative compartment. A possible inverse correlation between the level of [3H]thymidine labeling in the mammary gland, but not in the colo-rectum, and the linoleic acid content of individual diets may help to explain the significance of these observations. The effect of adding an antioxidant mixture to these diets was to reduce the excess proliferation induced in the intestinal crypts by lard or fish oil to the level induced by soybean oil, but only partially so in the duct cells of the mammary gland. |
