The effects of garlic on diethylnitrosoamine (DEN)-induced hepatocarcinogenesis were examined in male Wistar rats using the medium term bioassay system of Ito based on the two-step model of hepatocarcinogenesis. Carcinogenic potential was scored by comparing the number and area/cm 2 of induced gluta

β¦ Synopsis
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) inhibits the development of early pre-neoplastic lesions and prevents tumor development in various tissues when given to animals during the initiation/ promotion stages of carcinogenesis. Our purpose was to evaluate whether DHEA can also arrest the growth and progression of late lesions, such as persistent nodules (PNs) of rat liver. Male

## Abstract The growth hormone receptor (GHR) and growth hormoneβbinding protein (GHβBP) expression were characterized in liver nodules and hepatomas from male Wistar rats. The mRNA levels of GHR and GHβBP, studied by northern blot analysis and solution hybridization, were 35β50% (in nodules) and 2
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
The effects of putrescine on the incidence and number of colon tumors induced by azoxymethane, and on the labelling index and the activity of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) in the colon mucosa were investigated in Wistar rats. Rats re- ceived 10 weekly injections of 7.4 mg/kg body weight of azoxymeth
## Abstract ## Background Connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) is a highly profibrogenic molecule implicated in hepatic fibrogenesis. Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is an effective tool to silence gene expression postβtranscriptionally. Therefore, we conducted an investigation to determine if int
Long-term ethanol feeding has been shown to selectively reduce hepatic mitochondrial glutathione content by impairing mitochondrial uptake of this thiol. In this study, we assessed the role of this defect in evolution of alcoholic liver disease by examining the mitochondrial glutathione pool and lip
