[Effects of crude soybean trypsin inhibitor on pancreatic atrophy induced by BOP treatment in hamsters].
Experiment I: Female Syrian golden hamsters were given 5 weekly sc injections of N-nitrosobis (2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP) while simultaneously being treated with SBTI diet for 5 weeks (BOP+ SBTI). Other two groups were treated with BOP or SBTI alone. Sacrificed at week 30, the numbers of both adenocarcinomas and dysplastic lesions were decreased in the BOP+SBTI group relative to the BOP alone group. Experiment II: Female hamsters were given 3 weekly sc injections of BOP and then fed a SBTI diet for 40 weeks. The numbers of dysplastic lesions was decreased in the BOP and SBTI group relative to the BOP alone group. An inhibitory effect was observed for the pancreas in hamsters fed SBTI after BOP treatment. In experiments I and II, atrophic changes of pancreatic exocrine tissues and fatty tissue infiltration were observed in hamsters treated with BOP. The ratios of exocrine atrophy in pancreas sections were measured with the aid of an image processor. Areas (2.4 mm2) of splenic and gastric lobes were selected randomly, and the included exocrine tissue measured to allow calculation of percentage area of exocrine tissue atrophy. In hamsters simultaneously treated with BOP and SBTI, the percent areas of intact exocrine tissues in both splenic and gastric lobes were significantly higher (87% and 83%) as compared to the BOP group values (61% and 61%), at the level of p < 0.01, respectively.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
