Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mechanism involved in transcriptional control and altered patterns of methylation may lead to the aberrant gene expression contributing to carcinogenesis. Three groups of mice were used in the current study: the relatively liver-tumor-sensitive C3H/He strain and B6C3F1 stock (C57BL/6xC3H/He), as well as the relatively resistant C57BL/6 strain. For a 2-week period,...
