Abstract

Indole-3-carbinol (I3C), one component of cruciferous vegetables (the Family of Cruciferae), has been shown to exert chemopreventive effects in liver, colon and mammary tissue, but there has been substantial evidence that consumption of I3C induces tumor promotion in some tissues. Our studies were investigated to examine the modifying effects of I3C in the 7, 12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) induced rat mammary tumor model.(omitted)
