Abstract excerpt
Previous work from our laboratory demonstrated that 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA) or a synthetic diacylglycerol induced significantly higher epidermal ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) activity in C57BL/6 than in DBA/2 mice. To understand further the genetic basis for this strain differe...
