In mice, the sex difference in susceptibility to hepatocarcinogenesis results from the tumor promoting activity of testosterone and from the inhibition of tumor promotion by ovarian hormones. We investigated the role of growth hormone in the sex-dependent regulation of susceptibility, because sex hormones are known to regulate the temporal pattern of growth hormone secretion and subsequent sex differences in...
