Abstract excerpt
The DRH is an inbred rat strain highly resistant to chemically induced hepatocarcinogenesis. Two clusters of resistance loci Drh1 and Drh2 on chromosome 1 and 4 yield strong resistance to the formation of enzyme-altered foci and their progression. To evaluate the effect of enhanced cell proliferation in the progression stage, a partial hepatectomy (PH) was carried out in (DRH x F344)F1 rats 8 weeks after the...
