Red palm oil (RPO) contains significant levels of carotenoids and Vitamin E. In this experiment we compared the inhibitory effects of RPO (7% and 14% levels) and soybean oil (7% and 14%) on azoxymethane (AOM) induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF). Thirty-two male Fisher 344 rats were randomly assigned to four groups. Two groups received AIN-93 G control (C) diet containing 7% and 14% soybean oil (SBO), respectively. Groups 3 and 4 received a treatment diet consisting of 7% and 14% RPO, respectively. The rats received subcutaneous injections of AOM at 16 mg/kg body weight at 7 and 8 weeks of age. At 17 weeks of age rats were killed by CO(2) asphyxiation. Numbers of ACF (mean+/-SE) in the proximal and distal colon were: 39.9 +/- 0.9, 53.8 +/- 2.8, 26.0 +/- 3.0, 27.5 +/- 1.5 and 118.2 +/- 1.7, 125.6 +/- 3.2, 41 +/- 7, 52.3 +/- 1.8 in rats fed 7% SBO, 14% SBO, 7% RPO and 14% RPO, respectively. The results of this study showed that RPO reduced the incidence of AOM induced ACF and may therefore have a beneficial effect in reducing the incidence of colon cancer.
红棕榈油(RPO)含有大量类胡萝卜素和维生素E。在本实验中,我们比较了RPO(7%和14%含量)和大豆油(7%和14%)对乙基亚硝基脲(AOM)诱导的异常隐窝灶(ACF)的抑制作用。32只雄性Fisher 344大鼠被随机分为四组。两组分别接受含有7%和14%大豆油(SBO)的AIN-93 G对照(C)饮食。第3组和第4组分别接受由7%和14% RPO组成的治疗饮食。大鼠在7周和8周龄时接受16 mg/kg体重的AOM皮下注射。在17周龄时,大鼠通过二氧化碳窒息处死。近端和远端结肠中ACF的数量(平均值±标准误)分别为:喂食7% SBO、14% SBO、7% RPO和14% RPO的大鼠中,ACF数量分别为39.9±0.9、53.8±2.8、26.0±3.0、27.5±1.5以及118.2±1.7、125.6±3.2、41±7、52.3±1.8。本研究结果表明,RPO降低了AOM诱导的ACF发生率,因此可能对降低结肠癌发病率具有有益作用。
