Abstract excerpt
We previously reported that LEC rats, which show a spontaneous occurrence of liver injury and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), are highly susceptible to chemical carcinogens such as diethylnitrosamine (DEN). Since abnormal copper accumulation in the liver of LEC rats was found to be a cause of liver injury, it is necessary to elucidate whether the carcinogen susceptibility of LEC rats is related to the...
