While conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) is regarded as an essential fatty acid with anticarcinogenic effects, conventional linoleic acid (LA) is reported to promote tumour growth in various experimental studies probably caused by high sensitivity to non-enzymatic lipid peroxidation. In order to evaluate the impact of dietary LA and CLA on liver metastasis and lipidperoxidation (LPO), 60 Syrian hamsters were injected with 10 mg N -nitrosobis-2-oxopropylamine (BOP)/kg body weight s.c. for 12 weeks. Animals were fed a special diet containing LA or CLA. The experiment was terminated after 24 weeks. Incidence, number and size of liver metastases were histologically determined. Furthermore, the activities of antioxidative enzymes and concentration of hepatic lipidperoxidation were measured intra- and extrametastatically. Incidence, number and size of liver metastases did not differ between the tumour groups. Otherwise, antioxidative enzyme activity of GSH-Px was higher in non-metastatic liver, while SOD activity and lipidperoxidation were increased in liver metastases. Conclusively there was no difference between the groups fed with LA and CLA according to the impact on liver metastasis in ductal pancreatic cancer.
