Title: Different dose-response relationships in the induction of different types of colonic tumors in Wistar rats by 1,2-dimethylhydrazine. Author: Shirai T, Nakanowatari J, Kurata Y, Fukushima S, Ito N. Journal: Gan; 1983 Feb; 74(1):21-7. PubMed ID: 6301917. Abstract: Four groups of 21 male Wistar rats were given weekly subcutaneous injections of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine at a dose of 20 mg/kg body weight for 2, 4, 6 and 8 weeks, respectively, and 7 animals of each group were killed in weeks 24, 32 and 40. This treatment induced a clear dose-related increase in the total number of colonic carcinomas. The number of tubular adenocarcinomas, which were mostly located in the descending colon, was clearly dose-related, whereas the number of signet ring cell carcinomas, which developed in the ascending colon, was apparently dose-independent.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
