This study investigates the relationship between serum concentration of bile acids, the appearance of preneoplastic change, glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P)-positive foci in the liver of male Donryu rats which had been fed 0.06% 3'-methyl-4-dimethylamino-azobenzene (3'-MeDAB), and the effects of gomisin A, previously reported to inhibit the tumor promotion process.

When different types of tumor promotors, phenobarbital (PB) and deoxycholic acid (DCA), were administered for 5 weeks after initiation by 3'-MeDAB, preneoplastic alterations in the liver, determined by glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P), were markedly increased.

Gomisin A inhibited both increases of the level of glutathione-S-transferase placental form (GST-P) and the number and size of GST-P positive foci in the liver increased after treatment with 3'-MeDAB.

Anticancer efficacy of VD3 was estimated using different possible biomarkers, namely reduced glutathione (GSH) concentration, gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity, glutathione S-transferase (GST) activity, glutathione reductase (GRd) activity, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) activity in hyperplastic nodules (HNs) and non-nodular surrounding parenchyma (NNSP) liver areas.
