Abstract:We investigated the mechanisms by which partial hepatectomy (PH) increases the ability of chemical hepatocarcinogens to induce pre-neoplastic liver foci. Comparison of the effects of pre-treatment with PH, estradiol (E2) or tamoxifen (TAM) on the yield in glutathione-S-transferase(GST-P)-positive preneoplastic foci in rat liver induced by subsequent treatment with ethylnitrosourea (ENU) or diethylnitrosamine (DENA) showed that pre-treatment with E2 increased the yield in foci induced by subsequent treatment wi… Show more
