Carcinogenic Effects of Di(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine (DHPN) in Male Wistar Rats: Promotion of Pancreatic Cancer by a Raw Soya Flour Diet

Abstract
Di(2-hydroxypropyl)nitrosamine was administered to rats fed raw or heated (control) soya flour diets. The group fed raw soya flour developed hyperplastic and adenomatous pancreatic nodules and pancreatic adenocarcinomata. A diet of raw soya flour augments the carcinogenicity of pancreatic carcinogens in the rat.
