Abstract excerpt
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are ubiquitous environmental toxicants which act as liver tumor promoters in rodents and can be classified as either dioxin-like or non-dioxin (phenobarbital [PB])-like inducers of cytochrome P-450. Since we have previously shown that tumor promotion by PB leads to clonal outgrowth of beta-catenin (Catnb)-mutated but not Ha-ras-mutated mouse liver tumors, we were interested to...
