Abstract excerpt
The promotional effect of phenobarbital and 1-hydroxymethyl-pyren on enzyme altered lesions in the rat liver were quantified within the framework of two separate multipath/multistage models. The experiment analyzed followed an initiation-promotion protocol in which female Wistar rats were initiated with a single dose of diethylnitrosamine at 0.15 mumol/g body wt followed by a 3 week treatment-free period.
