Abstract excerpt
Colon carcinogenesis induced in rats by azoxymethane (AOM) is a useful experimental model as it mimics the human adenoma-carcinoma sequence and allows the study of dietary variation and of the effects of chemopreventive substances. Alterations of specific oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes (APC and K-ras) play roles at different stages of this carcinogenesis process. Recently, it has been suggested that genomic...
