Abstract excerpt
Methylphenidate hydrochloride (MPH), a widely prescribed pediatric drug for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, induced liver adenocarcinomas in B6C3F1 mice exposed to 500 ppm in feed for 2 years (Dunnick and Hailey (1995) [14]). In order to determine if the induction of liver tumors was by a mutagenic mode of action, groups of male Big Blue (BB) mice (B6C3F1 background) were fed diets containing 50-4000...
