Male and female C3H mice were fed a diet containing 0.5% or 0.05% of the antioxidant butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT). After 10 months, male but not female animals had a significantly increased incidence of liver tumors compared to animals kept on a BHT-free control diet. In a second experiment, male BALB/c mice were treated subcutaneously with the carcinogens dimethylhydrazine (DMH) or intrarectally with methylnitrosourea (MNU). A diet containing 0.5% BHT significantly increased the incidence of colon tumors in DMH treated animals but had no effect in mice given MNU. It is concluded that the effect of BHT on tumor development depends on strain and target organ examined and possibly also on the chemical carcinogen used.
