Abstract:
Adult Fischer-344 rats which underwent administration of azoxymethane were fed diets containing soybean curd refuse (SCR) or a high-molecular-weight fraction of soy protein digest (HMF), or Hammarsten casein (CAS) as a protein source over a period of 34 weeks. All the living rats of each group at 22, 28 or 34 weeks were endoscopically inspected for tumor incidence in the colon. SCR turned out to be comparable to HMF in anti-tumorigenicity, or rather better than HMF.
