The present study was designed to determine whether a delay in the start of the promoting regimen after the administration of a carcinogen would influence the promoting efficacy of orotic acid on the development of hepatocellular carcinoma in rats. Male Fischer 344 rats weighing 130-150 g were injected with a single dose of diethylnhrosamine (200 mg/kg body wt i.p.) then divided into 3 groups: groups 1 and 2 were given semi-synthetic basal diet or the same diet containing 1% orotic acid (OA) respectively starting 1 week after the carcinogen; group 3 received the OA diet starting 5 weeks after the administration of diethylnitrosamine. Animals from these 3 groups were sacrificed after 25, 32, 42 and 60 weeks of being fed their respective diets. The results indicated that delaying the start of the OA diet after the carcinogen resulted in about a 50% decrease in the incidence of hepatic nodules and/or hepatocellular carcinomas at various time points during the experiment. This decrease in promoting efficacy of OA was not apparently explainable by lack of metabolic effects of OA, at least in terms of induction of nucleotide pool imbalance, a condition that appears to be important for OA to exert its tumor promoting effects.
