1 DMH injections significantly elevated both the activities of beta-glucuronidase (distal colon, distal intestine, liver and colon contents) and mucinase (colon and fecal contents) as compared to the control rats. 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine glucuronidase, beta Rattus norvegicus
2 Coconut cake supplementation to DMH-treated rats significantly decreased the incidence and number of tumors as well as the activity of beta-glucuronidase and mucinase. 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine glucuronidase, beta Rattus norvegicus
3 CONCLUSIONS: Coconut cake has a protective effect against DMH induced colon cancer by virtue of its ability to lower the activities of the microbial enzymes beta-glucuronidase and mucinase. 1,2-Dimethylhydrazine glucuronidase, beta Rattus norvegicus
