The effects of galanin on pancreatic carcinogenesis induced by azaserine and on the norepinephrine concentration in the pancreas were investigated in male Wistar rats. Rats were given weekly injections of 10 mg/kg body weight of azaserine for 25 weeks and 8 g/kg body weight of galanin in depot form

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of tetragastrin on pancreatic tumors induced by azaserine was investigated in Wistar rats. Rats were given 25 weekly injections of 10 mg/kg body weight of azaserine and I mg/kg body weight of tetragastrin as a suspension in olive oil every other day. Carcinogen-induced pancreatic lesions were examined by histochemical techniques, and were classified as ATPase-positive or ATPase-negative. In week 62, quantitative histological analysis showed that prolonged administration of tetragastrin had little or no influence on the number and size of the carcinogen-induced pancreatic lesions, although it caused significantly increased cell proliferation, indicated by a greater labelling index of the pancreatic acinar cells.

## Abstract We have shown previously, with Xβchromosome linked phosphoglycerate kinase (PGK) cell markers, that the fibrosarcomas induced in mice by subcutaneous injection of 0.2β2.0 mg of methylcholanthrene (MCA) dissolved in olive oil had a multicellular origin. In this study we used a constant d
