In this study, dietary modulation of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced adrenal toxicity in rats was investigated. Beginning at postnatal day (PND) 21, female Sprague-Dawley rats were fed either soy-containing NIH-31 diet or soy- and alfalfa-free 5K96 diet. On the first day of diestrus when the animals were PND 50 +/- 5, rats received either an oral dose of 80 mg/kg DMBA or sesame oil, the vehicle, and were sacrificed at 24, 36, or 48 h after treatment. Apoptosis was manifested at 24 and 36 h after DMBA treatment in the zona reticularis (ZR) and the zona fasciculata (ZF) of the adrenal cortex; this was followed by severe hemorrhagic necrosis at 48 h. DMBA-induced apoptosis, evaluated by the TUNEL assay, immunohistochemical analysis of activated caspase 3, and the ratio of expression of pro-apoptotic Bax to anti-apoptotic Bcl2, was greater in rats fed NIH-31 diet relative to rats fed 5K96 diet at 24 h after treatment. Four of six DMBA-treated rats fed 5K96 diet had severe adrenal necrosis by 48 h, whereas this lesion was present in only two of six DMBA-treated rats fed NIH-31 diet. DMBA also caused a significant decrease of serum corticosterone relative to controls at 48 h in rats fed 5K96 diet. The present study indicated that diet modulates DMBA-induced adrenal toxicity in female rats, with increased apoptosis early and reduced necrosis later in rats fed a soy-containing diet.

D009336 Necrosis The death of cells in an organ or tissue due to disease, injury or failure of the blood supply.
D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D002273 Carcinogens Substances that increase the risk of NEOPLASMS in humans or animals. Both genotoxic chemicals, which affect DNA directly, and nongenotoxic chemicals, which induce neoplasms by other mechanism, are included.

D003345 Corticosterone An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)

D000302 Adrenal Cortex The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN. Cortex, Adrenal
D000311 Adrenal Glands A pair of glands located at the cranial pole of each of the two KIDNEYS. Each adrenal gland is composed of two distinct endocrine tissues with separate embryonic origins, the ADRENAL CORTEX producing STEROIDS and the ADRENAL MEDULLA producing NEUROTRANSMITTERS.
