Sucrose enhancement of the early steps of colon carcinogenesis in mice
1993
The association of refined sugars and colorectal cancers and polyps in three recent case-control studies led us to investigate the effects of sucrose, fructose and glucose on colonic epithelial proliferation and sensitivity to carcinogenesis. CF1 and C578L/6J mice were used; proliferation was assessed as vincristine-accumulated mitotic figures per crypt section; sensitivity to carcinogenesis was assessed as the number of aberrant crypt foci (ACF) per colon observed following the colon carcinogen, azoxymethane (AOM, 3 mg/kg and 5 mg/kg)
