Adriamycin-treated rats were monitored for survivorship while consuming a normal diet adequate in riboflavin, a normal diet and receiving daily high-dose injections of riboflavin-5'-phosphate (flavin mononucleotide, FMN), or a riboflavin-deficient diet. Each animal was compared to a corresponding pair-fed, saline-treated control. In Adriamycin-treated rats fed the normal chow diet alone, survivorship declined within 7 days and remained constant after 12 days to about 50%. Adriamycin-treated rats consuming the normal diet and injected with FMN initially showed similar survivorship; however, after 20 days survival fell to 14%. Adriamycin-treated, riboflavin-deficient rats showed within 5 days a precipitous decline in survivorship which leveled to 5%. These results suggest that during Adriamycin treatment, proper riboflavin nutriture may be a crucial determinant of survival.
