Abstract excerpt
DRH strain rats were established by inbreeding a closed colony of Donryu rats continuously fed the chemical hepatocarcinogen 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene for over 10 years. They are highly resistant to chemical induction of liver cancer and preneoplastic lesions. We studied the genetic basis of DRH resistance to preneoplastic lesions by analyzing 108 (F344 x DRH)F2 male rats fed...
