The influence of sex hormones on mammary tumors induced by 2-acetaminofluorene.

چکیده
There is abundant evidence that estrogens enhance the development of mammary tumors in high-cancer strains of mice, with the possible exception of the Marsh-Buffalo strain. The inhibitory effect of testosterone in this connection is also well known. Although similar studies in species other than the mouse have yielded conflicting results, there is evidence that estrogens enhance the development of mammary tumors in rats. The present report deals with the influence of estrogen, androgen and progesterone upon the development of mammary tumors in rats receiving 2-acetaminofluorene in their diet.

متن کاملThe influence of sex hormones upon the hepatic lesions produced by 2-acetaminofluorene.
The carcinogenic action of 2-acetaminofluorene has been described by Wilson, De Eds and Cox (14) and by Bielschowsky (1). This compound is particularly interesting because of the fact that, when fed to stock albino rats (14) and to descendants of Wistar rats (1), it produced a greater variety of tumors than most known carcinogens. Bielschowsky (2) reported the development of benign and malignan...

Objective- Breast cancer is one of the most serious problems in oncology. Alkaloids pyrrolizidine are widely found in nature and exhibited versatile biological activities. The aim of the present study was to assess anti-tumor activity of methyl 1,3-dioxo-1,1',2',3,5',6',7',7a'-octahydrospiro[indene-2,3'-pyrrolizidine]-2'-carboxylate (6) on 7,12 dimethylbenz(a) anthracene (DMBA)-induced mammary ...

Bielschowsky (2) reported the occurrence of carcinoma in the rat's thyroid gland made hyperplastic by administration of allyl thiourea when the carcinogen, 2-acetaminofluorene (AAF) was administered simultaneously. Applying a similar principle, we investigated the effects of administration of this carcinogen to rats in which hyperplasia of target organs was produced by injection of male and fem...
