Abstract
Because vanadate ion is a potent mitogen and accumulates in the gut of rodents fed vanadate supplements, effects of ammonium metavanadate in drinking water (10 ppm or 20 ppm) were studied on the development of large bowel neoplasms in mice treated with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH) (20 mg kg-1 weekly for 20 weeks). In the colon at 30 weeks DMH treatment caused a 14% increase in RNA content, an 18% increase in DNA content, and 33% deeper crypts. Vanadate at either 10 ppm or 20 ppm decreased RNA content by approximately 11%. Although vanadate increased thymidine incorporation 210% to 550% compared with controls, it had no influence on the attack rate, incidence, or histological type of tumours induced by DMH.
