The effect of dietary ..beta..-carotene (BC), retinyl acetate (RA) and sodium selenite on formation of ..gamma..-glutamyltranspeptidase-positive foci in rat liver was investigated. Male Sprague-Dawley rats, 50g, were fed for 16 wks semipurified diets supplemented with either BC (500 mg/kg diet), RA (6400 IU/kg diet for wks 1-7 and 10,000 IU/kg for wks 8-16), 1.8 ppm selenium (Se) or both 1.8 ppm Se and 500 mg/kg BC. The control diet contained 0.1 ppm Se and 3200 IU RA/kg diet. During wks 3-4 rats received 10 intragastric doses of aflatoxin B/sub 1/ (0.4 mg/kg body weight/dose). Preneoplastic foci were quantitated at wk 16. Diet had no significant effect on growth rate or food consumption. None of the treatments resulted in significant differences in the number of foci per cm/sup 2/ liver section, but differences in focal size occurred. RA increased total focal area (mm/sup 2//cm/sup 2/ liver), while Se decreased focal area 5-fold. BC slightly decreased focal area. The combination of BC and Se was not as effective as Se alone. BC, RA, and BC-Se diets yielded equivalent levels of total liver retinol, which exceeded levels in control and Se rats by 30-fold. Livers from BC fed rats contained 4-5 ..mu..g BC/gmore » liver. The different effects of dietary RA and BC on focal development may indicate a role for BC other than as a retinol precursor. The influence of each nutrient on focal size, but not number, implies they act during the post-initiation stage of focal development.« less
