Naturally occurring tumor in animals receiving high minerals from deep oceans (DOM: hardness 600 mg/L) from 6 months of age until natural death was firstly assessed in 200 Sprague Dawley rats, randomized into four groups: Control (C), DOM (D), Fructose (F), and Fructose + DOM (FD). Fructose drink contained 11% fructose. Tumor incidence (necropsy at death) in the D group was ~40% lower than that in the C group (P < .05), together with lower body mass gain and greater locomotive activity during their initial 18 months (P < .05) but not during later life. X-ray image analysis on abnormal solid tissue among survivors at 18 and 24 months of age confirms a similar trend, exhibiting ~50% and ~65% lower tumor incidence than the C and F groups, respectively. Reduced-to-oxidized glutathione ratio (GSH/GSSG) declined with age for the first three quarters of life on all groups (P < .05), followed by a resurgence during end-life among survivors at 24 months. This resurgence is markedly associated with lower tumor expansion but unrelated with DOM supplementation. Our results demonstrate valuable application of minerals and trace elements from deep oceans, as a vastly available natural source, on tumor suppression during normal aging.
在 200 只 Sprague Dawley 大鼠中,首先评估了从 6 个月大到自然死亡期间接受来自深海(DOM:硬度 600mg/L)的高矿物质的动物中自然发生的肿瘤,这些大鼠随机分为四组:对照组(C)、DOM 组(D)、果糖组(F)和果糖+DOM 组(FD)。果糖饮料含有 11%的果糖。与对照组相比,D 组的肿瘤发生率(死亡时尸检)降低了约 40%(P<0.05),同时在最初 18 个月的体重增长和运动活性降低(P<0.05),但在后期生活中没有。对 18 个月和 24 个月时存活者的异常固体组织的 X 射线图像分析证实了类似的趋势,肿瘤发生率分别比 C 组和 F 组低约 50%和 65%。所有组在前三个生命季度的氧化还原型谷胱甘肽比(GSH/GSSG)随年龄下降(P<0.05),随后在 24 个月时存活者的终末期再次上升。这种复苏与肿瘤扩张减少显著相关,但与 DOM 补充无关。我们的研究结果表明,深海中的矿物质和微量元素作为一种广泛存在的天然来源,在正常衰老过程中具有抑制肿瘤的有价值的应用。
