Daily oral administration of tyramine for 49 days to wild-type mice resulted in visible adenomas in 5 out of 12 mice, accompanied by significantly enhanced DNA damage (γH2AX +) and an increased trend of cell proliferation (Ki67 +) in the ileum, along with an upregulated expression of the cell division cycle gene (Cdc34b) in the colon. This evidence concerns the gene MKI67 and adenoma.
