## Abstract Animal cancer models reduce genetic background heterogeneity and thus, may facilitate identification and analysis of specific genetic aberrations in tumor cells. Rat and human mammary glands have high similarity in physiology and show comparable hormone responsiveness. Thus, spontaneous

Only a small proportion of DMBA-induced rat mammary tumors are transplantable in cleared (gland-free) mammary fat pads. To enhance their transplantability, several host factors were modified: age, parity, hormone levels, and tissue integrity of the fat pad. Our 2 important findings were that (I) the
## Abstract Commercial cow milk contains considerable amounts of estrogens. Our study assessed the effect of commercial lowβfat milk on the development of 7,12βdimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA)βinduced mammary tumors in rats. Eighty 6βweekβold female SpragueβDawley rats received a single oral dose o
## Abstract The present paper reports the inhibitory effect of __Asparagus racemosus__on DMBAβinduced mammary tumorigenesis in rats of Holtzman strain. When virgin female rats, normal or primed with 17βΞ²βestradiol treatment, are put on diets containing 0.25%, 0.5%, 1% or 2% __Asparagus__ root extra
