Abstract:The pathologic and experimentally induced epithelial atypias in the lung associated with 6‐MP and TEM were investigated. Twenty‐five rabbits were given 12.5 mg of 6‐MP per week and 25 rabbits were given 1.25 mg of TEM per week. The drugs were inserted directly in the stomach by a nasal‐gastric tube. Five additional rabbits were given combined doses of both drugs per week. A control group of 50 rabbits was maintained on a standard diet. TEM produced the highest incidence of basal cell atypia (44%) but the incid… Show more
