Abstract
The consumption of cruciferous vegetables such as cabbage and broccoli have been shown to have a chemopreventive effect in human and in experimental animals. Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), one component of cruciferous vegetables, has been shown to exert its chemopreventive effect in liver, colon and mammary tissue before or concurrent exposure of carcinogen, but in some reports, there have been several evidence that consumption of I3C after carcinogen treatment induced tumor promotion in some tissues. There have been no reports about the effect of I3C after carcinogen exposure in N-Nitroso-N-methylurea (MNU)-induced mammary tumor model of rats. (omitted)
