Abstract
Treatment with propylthiouracil (PTU) resulted in a significant decrease in azoxymethane-induced intestinal tumors, total concentration of fecal bile acids as well as the fecal neutral steroids, cholesterol and coprostanol. Thus, a hypothyroid state induced by PTU treatment may affect intestinal carcinogenesis in this animal model by lowering the concentration of fecal bile acids and neutral steroids.Entities:
