✦ Synopsis


A single dose of 40 mg/kg of N-nitrosoethylurea (ENU) was administered to BDVI rats on the 16th day of pregnancy. The first generation descendants (F1) were mated on a brother-to-sister system to produce a second generation (F2) which was then mated to produce a third generation. A high incidence of nervous tissue tumors and a few kidney tumours were observed in F1 descendants. A few nervous tissue tumours were observed in F3 but not in F2 descendants. These results partially confirm previous observations obtained with 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene in mice and nitrosomethylurea in rats and indicate that prenatal exposure to a chemical carcinogen may result in an increased cancer risk which can persist for more than one generation.

Administration of ethylnitrosourea (ENU) to pregnant rats in the late stage of gestation has been known to have a mainly neurocarcinogenic action on the progeny. However, when transplacental administration of ENU was combined in postnatal life with a brief dietary exposure to 2-acetylaminofluorene (

Disuse is associated with bone loss, which may not be recoverable. It is not known whether intensified remobilization is beneficial in restoring disuse-related bone loss nor if any such benefit would depend upon continuing mobilization for its maintenance. After an immobilization period of 3 weeks,
