The effect of different tumor groupings on findings of anticarcinogenic responses in long-term rodent bioassays.
Many investigators have found that there is a decrease in tumor rates at some sites when rodents are exposed to some chemicals. The generality of this finding of anticarcinogenicity has been questioned. In this study, we evaluate the effect of several alternative ways of grouping the 3000 tumor types in the Cancer Bioassay Data System (CBDS) database of carcinogenesis test results into a limite...
متن کاملForest production responses to irrigation and fertilization are not explained by shifts in allocation
Production increases in intensively managed forests have been obtained by improving resource availability through water and nutrient amendments. Increased stem production has been attributed to shifts in growth from roots to shoot, and such shifts would have important implications for belowground carbon sequestration. We examined above and belowground growth and biomass accumulation and distrib...
متن کاملProcessing Capacity Limits Are Not Explained by Storage Limits
Cowan’s review shows that a short-term memory limit of four items is consistent with a wide range of phenomena in the field. However he does not explain that limit, whereas an existing theory does offer an explanation for capacity limitations. Furthermore processing capacity limits cannot be reduced to storage limits as Cowan claims. In his excellent review, Cowan concludes that short term memo...
متن کاملThe Problem of Pseudocarcinogenicity in Rodent Bioassays
Pseudocarcinogenicity is defined as the enhancement of tumor risk by a nongenotoxic mechanism in physiologically abnormal animals. In the case of rats, severe endocrine disturbance secondary to overfeeding is the commonest cause of physiological abnormality. Pseudoanticarcinogenicity is the counterpart of pseudocarcinogenicity. The literature abounds with, and is seriously confused by, examples...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays.
In this paper we describe a simulation, by Monte Carlo methods, of the results of rodent carcinogenicity bioassays. Our aim is to study how the observed correlation between carcinogenic potency (beta or 1n2/TD50) and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) arises, and whether the existence of this correlation leads to an artificial correlation between carcinogenic potencies in rats and mice. The validity ...
