Dimethylhydrazine (DMH) induces adenocarcinomas of the colon and rectum in rodents; this animal cancer model system is thought to closely resemble human colorectal cancer. An extract of soybeans containing the Bowman-Birk protease inhibitor added to the diet of DMH-treated mice resulted in a significant suppression of adenomatous tumors of the colonic mucosa. Non-treated mice maintained on the same diet for most of their natural life-span (1.5 years) showed no observable health problems.
二甲基肼(DMH)可诱发啮齿动物的结肠和直肠癌;这种动物癌症模型系统被认为与人类结直肠癌极为相似。在经DMH处理的小鼠饮食中添加含有Bowman-Birk蛋白酶抑制剂的大豆提取物,可显著抑制结肠黏膜腺瘤性肿瘤。在其大部分自然寿命(1.5年)中以相同饮食饲养的未处理小鼠未出现明显的健康问题。
