Abstract:
Painting and feeding of mice with 2mg of an extract from black pepper on 3 days a week for 3 months results in a significant increase of the number of tumor-bearing mice. Tumor incidence is reduced in those groups of experimental animals receiving 5 or 10mg Vitamin A-palmitate twice weekly for 3 months by feeding or painting during and subsequent to application of pepper extract. Feeding of mice with powder of black pepper in diet (50g/3kg food) has no impact on carcinogenesis.
