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...
