The effect of green tea polyphenol fraction (GTP) on azoxymethane(AOM)-induced colon carcinogenesis was investigated in male Fischer rats. The rats were given AOM (7.4 mg/kg body weight) s.c. once a week for 10 weeks. A week after the treatment, they were divided into three groups: AOM-control (26 rats), AOM-GTP1 (26 rats) and AOM-GTP2 (25 rats). AOM-GTP1 and AOM-GTP2 groups respectively received 0.01 and 0.1% GTP in drinking water from week 11 to 26. AOM-control group received tap water throughout this experiment. Autopsy on week 26 showed that tumor incidence and average numbers of tumors per rat in the AOM-GTP1 and AOM-GTP2 groups were significantly lower than those of the AOM-control group: 38.1% and 47.6% versus 77.3%; 0.6 and 0.7 versus 1.5. Thus, it was concluded that GTP inhibited the development of AOM-induced colon carcinogenesis. The inhibition by GTP did not show significant dose dependence.
