Abstract excerpt
The phenotypic response of rat liver to a carcinogenic protocol involving initiation/selection and promotion with and without phenobarbital (PB) feeding was studied in pubertal and adult male rats. Considering the early presence of preneoplastic nodular areas, it appeared that pubertal rats, initiated at 6-7 weeks, presented a higher susceptibility to the protocol than adult rats initiated at 9-10 weeks. Altered...
