Calcium glucarate (CGT), an inhibitor of beta-glucuronidase, is a potent inhibitor of chemically-induced tumors when administered orally. The present study was undertaken to determine the effects of CGT on the promotion of hepatocarcinogenesis by phenobarbital following initiation with diethylnitrosamine (DENA). Partially hepatectomized, DENA-initiated female Sprague-Dawley rats, previously maintained only on chow diet for 2 months, were supplemented with either 0.05% phenobarbital alone or 0.05% phenobarbital plus 4% dietary CGT, for varying time intervals up to 6 months. Histopathologic evaluation of the liver sections showed that CGT significantly delayed the development of altered hepatic foci (AHF). By the seventh month post-initiation, however, the frequency and severity of changes seen in the livers of experimental animals approximated those of the controls.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
