Journal Article
Aflatoxin B1, a Hepatocarcinogen in the Infant Mouse
TL;DR: It has been demonstrated that aflatoxin B1 is a potent hepatocarcinogen under the experimental conditions and concluded that the infant age and the male hormonal environment were factors favorable for the inception and expression of liver neoplasia in mice.
Journal Article
Neoplastic response of mouse tissues during perinatal age periods and its significance in chemical carcinogenesis.
TL;DR: Infancy proved to be the most susceptible period to carcinogenesis as demonstrated by a great variety of tissues that responded to treatment and the incidence of tumors which developed and the advantage of prenatal and/or postnatal treatment in combination of life-long exposures to test agents as a more sensitive bioassay system in comparison with solely postweaning treatment.
Journal Article
Development of Broad Spectrum of Tumors by Ethylnitrosourea in Mice and the Modifying Role of Age, Sex, and Strain
TL;DR: The age of mice at the time of exposure to the carcinogen was one of the most important modifiers of tumor development in lung, liver, Harderian glands, stomach, kidneys, lymphoreticular system, nervous system, ovaries, and mammary glands.
Journal Article
Morphology and metastatic nature of induced hepatic nodular lesions in C57BL x C3H F1 mice.
TL;DR: It was concluded that nodules showing trabecular and the more anaplastic solid sheet type of growths represented bona fide hepatocellular carcinomas in the mouse.
Journal Article
Modifying role of partial hepatectomy and gonadectomy in ethylnitrosourea-induced hepatocarcinogenesis.
TL;DR: Partial hepatectomy enhanced significantly hepatocarcinogenesis in male but not in female mice, resulting in an increased difference in the incidence of liver tumors between the two sexes.
