Mortality, Body Weight, Food and Water Consumption, and Clinical Signs in Slc : B6C3F&lt;SUB&gt;1&lt;/SUB&gt; (C57BL/6 &amp;times; C3H) Mice Utilized in Chronic Toxicity and Carcinogenicity Studies

Correlation among species, sex, and tumor-site of neoplastic responses in 25 chemicals tested for carcinogenicity at the An-Pyo Center in 1981-1993 were evaluated. Of the 25 chemicals tested in rats and mice, 44 percent (1l of 25) were positive in at least one species and 56 percent (14 of 25) were negative in both rats and mice. Rats and mice exhibited a similar sensitivity to carcinogens as evidenced by 8 positive studies in rats and 9 positive studies in mice for a total of 17 positive studies. Three of the 25 chemicals evaluated were genotoxic and all tested positive in the carcinogenic bioassays in all groups and in both species and sexes. In addition, target tissues were similar between males and females. However, species specific or sex-related responses were evident at different dose levels with the non-genotoxic compounds tested.Compilation of historical tumor development data has revealed biological mechanisms whereby three classes of compounds produce characteristic positive results in rodent bioassays. Criteria for defining genotoxic, non genotoxic and promotor/pseudo-carcinogens are presented and discussed.
