Induction by degraded carrageenan of colorectal tumors in rats.

Ashi KW, Inagaki T, Fujimoto Y, Fukuda Y.

Abstract

Degraded carrageenan derived from the red seaweed Eucheuma spinosum was given to Sprague-Dawley rats through the diet, in drinking water or by stomach tube for up to 24 months. Carrageenan-induced squamous cell carcinomas, adenocarcinomas and adenomas in the colorectum were observed. Some rats had metastases to the regional lymph nodes of squamous cell carcinomas. These results show that degraded carrageenan is carcinogenic to the colorectum of the rat.
