Abstract excerpt
Dichloroacetate (DCA) and trichloroacetate (TCA) are two hepatocarcinogenic by-products of water chlorination. To compare the effects of DCA and TCA on cell replication in the nodules and tumors they induce, male B6C3F1 mice were administered 2.0 g/L DCA or TCA in their drinking water for 38 or 50 weeks, respectively. The pretreated mice were then given water containing 0, 0.02, 0.5, 1.0, or 2.0 g/L DCA or TCA...
