Abstract excerpt
N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) induces thymic lymphomas in AKR mice after a 2-3 month latency. This study shows that hormonal factors profoundly influence MNU-induced lymphomagenesis. Tumor development is accelerated in females compared to males, regardless of whether a single high dose or multiple low doses of MNU are administered. Testosterone is implicated in this phenomenon, since castrated mice develop...
