چکیده
the last two decades using rats and mice and following the international standard guidelines for long-term studies. As a result, a great deal of information concerning spontaneous tumQrs in various organsltissues, including the female genital organs, has been obtained for these animal species. In rats, the spontaneous occurrence of lesions in the female genital system, excluding the uterus, is generally very rare, for example compared to that in the endocrine and mammary glands, while the incidence and type of tumors observed, and especially those in the uterus, differ markedly among strains,

Moore and Meichionna (10) by application of 1 ,2-benz pyrene;' the majority of these were squamous-cell car cinomas, and the rest were sarcomas. Dunning, Curtis, and Segaloff (2) obtained similar tumors by treatment with 20-methyicholanthrene. The carcinomas metasta sized and were transplantable; the grafts grew equally well in male and in female hosts. Mirand and Staubitz (9), on the other han...
متن کاملInductive influence of testosterone upon central sexual maturation in the rat.
The influence of the testis and of testosterone upon the development of the male genitalia has been extensively investigated and a number of reviews of this work have been published (Jost, 1960; Burns, 1961). However, Witschi (1957) has stressed the need to distinguish between adult sex hormones, such as testosterone, and the secretions of the immature gonad. The formation of corpora lutea in t...
متن کاملA gonococcal efflux pump system enhances bacterial survival in a female mouse model of genital tract infection.
Active efflux of antimicrobial substances is likely to be an important bacterial defense against inhibitory host factors inherent to different body sites. Two well-characterized multidrug resistance efflux systems (MtrCDE and FarAB-MtrE) exist in Neisseria gonorrhoeae, a bacterial pathogen of the human genital mucosae. In vitro studies suggest that the MtrCDE and FarAB-MtrE efflux systems prote...

In his classical review on conditioned and autonomous neo plasms (1) Jacob Furili defined distinct stages in the develop ment and progression of hormone-dependent tumors. His in terest in the endocrine organs and their target tissues was based on the insight that they provided the best available system to analyze the relationship between well defined host factors that regulate the number of cel...
