Gastric tumorigenicity of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine on the background of gastric intestinal metaplasia induced by X-irradiation in CD (SD) rats
Abstract
Five-week-old male CD (SD) rats were X-irradiated with a total of 20 Gy in 2 equal fractions with a 3-day interval. After the second irradiation, rats were fed normal diet supplemented with 1% sodium chloride, which is known to increase intestinal metaplasia. 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine (DMH) solution was injected i.m. into the back musculature at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight weekly for 10 weeks, beginning 20 weeks after the final irradiation. Twelve months after the initial carcinogen treatment, gastric tumors in the glandular stomach were observed in 2 (3 lesions) of 30 animals in the X-irradiated and DMH-treated group fed diet supplemented with 1% sodium chloride. No gastric tumors were observed in the group which excluded X-irradiation from the experimental protocol.
