Does wheat bran suppress potato starch -- potentiated colorectal tumorigenesis at the aberrant crypt stage in a rat model?
This type-2 RS enhances epithelial proliferation, ACF density, and tumor formation. The addition of wheat bran to an RS-containing diet suppresses tumorigenesis, acting on events responsible for the formation of ACF but not the events controlling the hyperproliferative phase.
Antithrombin III activity and platelet count show a greater decrease in twin than in singleton pregnancies, perhaps due to a greater increase in thrombin generation.
