Abstract excerpt
Racemic anti-benzo[c]phenanthrene-3,4-diol-1,2-epoxide (anti-B[c]PhDE) is a powerful rat mammary carcinogen and is one of the most potent diol-epoxide tumorigens in mouse skin. Activation of ras genes has been proposed to be involved in tumorigenesis by this and related polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbon metabolites. Therefore, we analyzed rat mammary tumors and mouse skin tumors induced by anti-B[c]PhDE for...
