Rodent carcinogenesis bioassay with oxisuran, a selective immunosuppressive agent.
The carcinogenic potential of oxisuran, a synthetic immunosuppressive agent, was studied for 80 weeks and 104 weeks in mice and rats, respectively. Groups of 50 mice and 70 rats of each sex received oxisuran at doses of 600, 240, and 40 mg/kg/day as dietary admixtures over the entire experimental period. Adequate survival rates allowed accurate statistical analysis of diagnosed neoplasia. Incre...
متن کاملThe Two-Year Rodent Carcinogenesis Bioassay — Will It Survive?
For over 35 years, many synthetic and natural chemicals have been tested by government agencies, private companies and research institutes for carcinogenic activity in rats and mice in classical 2 year studies as part of a toxicity profile ultimately used for human toxicity and carcinogenicity risk assessment. With an increasing number of pharmaceutical and agricultural chemicals shown to be ca...
متن کاملDiet, caloric restriction, and the rodent bioassay.
The diet can significantly alter the results of toxicity and carcinogenicity studies. Ad libitum (AL) overfeeding of excessive calories to sedentary adult rodents is one of the most poorly controlled variables affecting the current rodent bioassay. AL-overfed rodents develop an early onset of adverse metabolic events, endocrine-disruptive degenerative diseases, and tumors that result in early m...
متن کاملExperimental bladder carcinogenesis-rodent models.
Several rodent models of bladder cancer development have been established. The aim of this review article is to provide a critical assessment of different animal models available for the study of bladder carcinogenesis, its chemoprevention and therapy. All, except for transgenic and knockout animals, require 8-12 months experimental periods in order to generate a high yield of neoplasias. Spont...
