Administration of BHT in the diet to rats concurrently receiving a weekly sc injection of the carcinogen azoxymethane inhibited the development of intestinal tumours: When BHT was fed after a course of treatment with azoxymethane, the number of animals with tumours was not affected but the number of tumours/animal increased slightly.
