Abstract excerpt
Hormonal and genetic factors strongly influence the susceptibility of inbred mice to hepatocarcinogenesis. Female C57BR/cdJ (BR) mice are extremely susceptible to liver tumor induction relative to other strains because they are genetically insensitive to the inhibition of hepatocarcinogenesis by ovarian hormones. To determine the genetic basis for the sensitivity of BR mice relative to resistant C57BL/6J (B6)...
