Abstract excerpt
Hepatocarcinogenesis in rodents is characterized by the early appearance of foci of enzyme-altered (initiated) cells which are believed to represent precursors on the way to malignancy.

This may be mediated by changes in the rates of cell division and/or cell death (apoptosis). Cell...
