title: Sennosides and aloin do not promote dimethylhydrazine-induced colorectal tumors in mice.
abstract: In a model of dimethylhydrazine-induced colorectal tumors in male mice aloin- or sennoside-enriched diets (0.03%) did not promote incidence and growth of adenomas and carcinomas after 20 weeks. Furthermore, in anthranoid-fed mice no significant changes in serum electrolytes as well as parameters of hepato- and nephrotoxicity were observed.
