Abstract excerpt
A 2-year rat tumor bioassay testing whole body exposure to naphthalene (NA) vapor found a significant increase in nasal respiratory epithelial adenomas in male rats and in olfactory epithelial neuroblastomas in female rats. To obtain mechanistic insight into NA-induced nasal carcinogenesis, NA dose-response was characterized in nasal epithelium using a tumor-relevant endpoint. Specifically, levels of p53 codon...
