In studies designed to determine the influence of dietary Se on pancreatic carcinogenesis, Syrian golden hamsters were fed unsupplemented torula yeast diet or diet supplemented with 0.1 or 5.0 ppm Se, from sodium selenite, starting at 4 weeks of age until the termination of the study. In separate groups, hamsters were given the diet supplemented with 0.1 ppm Se until 5 days after carcinogen treatment. Then they were fed either the unsupplemented diet or the diet supplemented with 5.0 ppm Se until the end of the experiment. N-Nitrosobis(2-oxopropyl)amine (BOP; CAS; 60599-38-4) treatment was given as a single sc injection of 20 mg/kg (body wt) at 8 weeks of age, and surviving hamsters were killed 50 weeks later. As a measure of Se status, glutathione peroxidase (GSHPX) activities were determined in plasma, erythrocytes, and liver. Values were elevated in animals fed higher levels of dietary Se. BOP treatment depressed plasma GSHPX at 24 hours and elevated erythrocyte and liver values at 4 weeks. Pancreatic ductular adenoma yields were inhibited with each elevation of dietary Se in female hamsters fed the diets, both before and after BOP administration, and were further inhibited in females that were fed diets containing 0.1 ppm Se before BOP administration and that were changed to the unsupplemented or 5.0-ppm-supplemented diets after BOP was given. Pancreatic ductular adenoma yields were highest in all male groups given diets of 0.1 ppm Se before BOP administration, irrespective of the Se level after BOP was fed. Adenoma yields in males were lowest in hamsters fed unsupplemented diet, both before and after BOP treatment. Pancreatic carcinoma yields were low and not influenced by dietary Se. The incidence of hepatic necrosis was elevated in BOP-treated hamsters fed the unsupplemented diet, and that of biliary cystic adenomas was highest in the group fed 0.1 ppm Se before and after BOP treatment.
