Ovarian cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths among women, and chronic alcoholism may exert co-carcinogenic effects. Because melatonin (mel) has oncostatic properties, we aimed to investigate and characterize the chemical induction of ovarian tumors in a model of ethanol-preferring
Female Sprague-Dawley rats were given a subcutaneous injection of the parent hydrocarbon or its K-region epoxide in 0.1 ml sesame oil on alternate days to a total of 30 doses and observed for sarcoma at the site of injection for 275 days. The parent compounds, benzo(a)pyrene (0.2 mumole/dose) and
High levels of anti-phosphatidylinositol (PtdIns) autoantibodies (autoAb) have been previously described in sera of cancer patients and in plasma of dimethylbenzanthracene-treated female Sprague-Dawley rats. The presence of anti-PtdIns autoAb was tested in a model of highly malignant sarcomas
In view of the findings of Moon, Simpson, and Evans (Science, 116:331,1952) that the hypophysectomized rat was refractory to the carcinogenic effect of methyl-cholanthrene, similar experiments have been conducted but using the more powerful carcinogen 9,10-dimethyl-1,2-benzanthracene. The results of
