Abstract:
:The interaction of dietary fat and the thymus in the induction of mammary tumors by dimethylbenz(a)anthracene has been examined in female Sprague-Dawley rats. In these experiments, rats fed diets of 0.5% (low fat), 5% (normal fat), or 20% (high fat) corn oil from weaning (21 days of age) were thymectomized or sham thymectomized at 35 days of age and were given 5 mg of dimethylbenz(a)anthracene at 55 days of age. Thymectomy exerted a protective effect in rats fed low and normal fat diets, and this was not reversed by Thymosin Fraction V. In high fat-fed rats, tumorigenesis was increased compared to the low fat groups, and in addition, the protective effect of thymectomy was absent. This differential effect of thymectomy could not be explained on the basis of changes in prolactin concentration, since prolactin levels were decreased in all dietary groups. Neither diet nor thymectomy affected corticosterone levels or the estrus cycle of mature rats. Peripheral blood lymphocytes were, however, decreased by both thymectomy and increasing the fat content of the diet. It is hypothesized that the promoting effect of dietary fat on dimethylbenz(a)anthracene-induced mammary tumorigenesis is mediated via the immune system, although a role for the endocrine system still cannot be ruled out.
