Bile Acids: Effects on Absorption of 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine and 7, 12-Dimethylbenz[a]anthracene in the Colon of the Rat and Guinea Pig
TLDR
Although [14C]DMH was absorbed more rapidly from the intestinal lumina of guinea pigs than from those of rats, the rat accumulated more of the carcinogen in the intestinal mucosa and liver than the mouse.Abstract:
The specific effects of bile acids as cocarcinogens were investigated. Absorptions of [14C]7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene, [14C]dimethylhydrazine ([14C]DMH), and [3H]inulin from loops of colons from outbred Sprague-Dawley rats and Hartley guinea pigs were determined. In each animal absorption of one carcinogen and inulin was studied in one control loop and in an experimental loop containing either deoxycholic acid (DOC) or chenodeoxycholic acid (CDOC). DOC had a more pronounced effect on increasing loss of carcinogen from the intestinal lumen than did CDOC. This role of bile acids was consistent with their known effect of increasing intestinal permeability. Less carcinogen remained in the colon mucosa when DOC was present in the intestinal lumen. Although [14C]DMH was absorbed more rapidly from the intestinal lumina of guinea pigs than from those of rats, the rat accumulated more of the carcinogen in the intestinal mucosa and liver.read more

Chapter 14 Roles of bile acids in intestinal lipid digestion and absorption
TL;DR: Of the bile components important for fat absorption, bile salts have been ascribed the main role although experimental results are accumulating, regarding the role of bile phospholipids in the specific uptake of sterols by the intestine.

TL;DR: Large intestinal cancer tissues had increased Cu,ZnSOD activity and decreased MnS OD activity and the increased activity of MnSOD in all experimental groups returned to the level of the control group.

TL;DR: Alcohol has been used in society over centuries and all over the world for its mood-lifting properties and taste, and throughout the centuries there has been evidence that, for both men and women, consumption gradually increased.

Inhibition of tumor progression and neoangiogenesis using cyclic RGD-peptides in a chemically induced colon carcinoma in rats
TL;DR: In this therapeutic model, late onset of treatment with integrin-blocking peptides resulted in an inhibition of tumor growth and a reduced tumor load which appeared to be mediated, at least in part, by inhibition of neoangiogenesis.

Tumor-enhancing effects of cholic acid are exerted on the early stages of colon carcinogenesis via induction of aberrant crypt foci with an enhanced growth phenotype.
TL;DR: Results suggest CHA was effective in enhancing colon carcinogenesis during early phases and ineffective in post-initiation phases and delayed intervention with CHA produced a tumor outcome similar to CON-CON and it did not enhance colonic tumor incidence.
