Malignant tumors in rats fed nafenopin, a hepatic peroxisome proliferator

Malignant tumors in rats fed nafenopin, a hepatic peroxisome proliferator

J K Reddy et al. J Natl Cancer Inst. 1977 Dec.

Abstract

Nafenopin (2-methyl-2-[P-(1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthyl)phenoxy] propionic acid; Su-13,437), a potent hypolipidemic hepatic peroxisome proliferator, was fed to male F344 rats at a dietary concentration of o.1% until the end of the experiment at 25 months. Between 18 and 25 months, 12 of 15 rats (80%) developed tumors. Approximately 73% (11/15) developed hepatocellular carcinomas, and 10% (3/15) developed pancreatic acinar cell tumors, including 1 metastasizing carcinoma. The hepatocellular carcinomas as well as the acinar cell carcinoma of the pancreas were transplantable successfully through 6 generations.
