Abstract excerpt
The livers of mice fed diethyl 1,4-dihydro-2,4,6,-trimethyl-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (DDC) for 10 weeks formed Mallory bodies (MBs) in clusters of hepatocytes. Mice withdrawn from DDC for 9 months developed liver tumors. In the present study, the phenotype of the hepatocytes that formed MBs and tumors was characterized. Immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescent stains were done on the DDC-treated mouse livers, as...
