Influence of carbon tetrachloride on induction of tumours of the liver and kidneys in mice by netrosamines

British Journal of Cancer volume 37, pages 67–75 (1978)Cite this article

Abstract

Mice were given a single dose of nitrosolimethylamine, nitrosoliethylamine or nitrosomethylethylamine and the yield of tumours and related lesions in the livers determined 12 months later. A hepatonecrotic dose of CCl4 24 or 48 h before the nitrosamines, increased the yields of hepatocellular tumours and proliferative foci in the livers, whereas when given 60 h before the nitrosamines there was no significant effect.
