Hyperlipaemia persisted for more than 12 months in rats treated with cobalt chloride, 9 of 20 treated rats and 1 control rat died within the first year, and 8 of the surviving animals developed fibrosarcomas--in 4 of these the tumour was far removed from the injection sites. The results are discussed with reference to the use of cobalt chloride treatment for anaemia in patients with chronic renal failure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
