摘要：In order to understand the function of Carrageenan, an indigestible polysaccharide, as a promoter of colonic tumors induced by 1, 2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH), molecular weight distribution of fecal carrageenan and amounts of fecal bile acids in rats given carrageenan and DMH treatment were examined. Gel filtration pattern on Sephacryl 5-300 of fecal carrageenan was very similar to that of feeding carragee-nan, and carrageenan ingested was quantitatively excreted in feces. Hexafluoroisopropyl ester-trifluoroacetyl derivatives of fecal bile acids were analyzed by gas chromatography on QF-l. Although there was a decreased concentration of deoxycholic acid and total bile acids in carrageenan-fed rats compared to control rats, no difference in the daily output was found because carrageenan ingestion increases fecal output. Significant increased concentration and daily output of lithocholic acid, a tumor-promoter, by feeding carrageenan were found. Thus, it was suggest-ed that the promoting effect of carrageenan on colon tumorigenesis by DMH may be mediated by increased excretion of lithocholic acid and may not participate in degradation of carrageenan ingested.
