Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic reconstitution of tumorigenesis in primary intestinal cells

TL;DR: It is shown that tumor development could be simply induced independently of intestinal microenvironment, even with WT murine primary intestinal cells alone, and indicated that genetic cooperation for intestinal tumorigenesis could be essentially recapitulated in intestinal organoids without generating gene-modified mice.
Journal ArticleDOI

Evaluation of toxicity of green tea catechins with 90-day dietary administration to F344 rats.

TL;DR: Green tea catechins, polyphenols extracted from the stalks and leaves of Camellia sinensis, are found in the different types of tea beverages and as antioxidant additives to many foods, snacks, fats and fatty oils and the no observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) of GTC was estimated to be 1.25%.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancement of Hepatocarcinogenesis by Kojic Acid in Rat Two-Stage Models after Initiation with N-bis(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine or N-diethylnitrosamine

TL;DR: The results demonstrate tumor-promoting and possible hepatocarcinogenic activity of KA at 2%, but the carcinogenic potential is likely to be weak.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fatty pancreas: A possible risk factor for pancreatic cancer in animals and humans.

TL;DR: Accumulating evidence suggests that pancreatic FI is involved in PDAC development in animals and humans, and further investigations to clarify the genetic and environmental factors that cause pancreaticFI are warranted.
