Abstract

Female rats have been fed high fat diets containing either polyunsaturated or saturated fat. After being fed either of the diets for 4 weeks, some of the animals received an intragastric dose of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA). At this point, the diets of half of the animals were interchanged so that animals previously fed the polyunsaturated fat diet were fed the saturated fat diet and vice versa. The cumulative incidence of tumor-bearing rats among DMBA-dosed rats was greater when the polyunsaturated fat diet was fed. The mean induction time of tumors decreased and the proportion of tumor-bearing rats which developed malignant tumors increased when the polyunsaturated fat diet was fed. This promotional effect of the polyunsaturated fat diet was exerted only when the diet was fed after DMBA administration.
