No effect of high fat diet-induced obesity on spontaneous reporter gene mutations in gpt delta mice.

Several animal studies using rodents with diet-induced or genetic obesity have also demonstrated that obesity can promote tumor development. However, the effects of obesity on the early stages of carcinogenesis, and especially on the spontaneous occurrence of somatic gene mutations, remain unclear....
