Weanling male Fischer rats were fed a purified diet or diets containing 25% (wt/wt) freeze-dried ground beets or cabbage with or without 1 ppm aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) for 26 wk. In 3-7 wk the cabbage diet diminished, while the beet diet enhanced AFB1-induced plasma .alpha.-fetoprotein (AFP) elevation. When the experiment was extended to 42 wk by maintaining the animals on the purified (basal) diet for a further 16 wk the rats that had consumed AFB1 in the beet diet had 72 .+-. 14 tumors/liver (mean surface diameter of tumors, 6.13 .+-. 4.69 mm); animals that were given AFB1 in the control diet had 30 .+-. 16 tumors/liver (mean surface diameter, 4.36 .+-. 3.16 mm); rats that were given AFB1 in the cabbage diet had 13 .+-. 5 tumors/liver (mean surface diameter, 4.28 .+-. 2.89 mm). In the Salmonella/mammalian microsomal test, urine from rats fed AFB1 with beets caused significantly (P < 0.05) more revertants in S. typhimurium strain TA98 than did urine from rats fed AFB1 with purified or cabbage diets. The beet- and cabbage-containing diets had no effect on the plasma AFP concentration, hepatic tumorigenesis, or the mutagenicity of urine in rats receiving no AFB1. Non-nutrient compounds of common vegetables may influence the response to chemical carcinogens, and that AFP determinations are useful in the rapid identification of dietary factors that modify carcinogenesis.
