Inhibition of rat mammary tumorigenesis by human chorionic gonadotropin associated with increased expression of inhibin
1 Sept 1999
Abstract excerpt
This work was designed to test whether the suppression of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA)-induced rat mammary carcinomas by human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is associated with the synthesis of inhibin. For this purpose, virgin rats received 8 mg DMBA/100 g body weight; 20 d later they were injected daily with 100 IU of hCG for 40 d (DMBA+hCG group). Age-matched untreated (control), hCG-, and...
