## Abstract Tobacco is notably genotoxic and associated with head and neck carcinogenesis. Cigarette carcinogens have the capacity to alter early response gene expression in tobaccoβrelated malignancies via genes such as nuclear factor kappa B (NFΞΊB). A number of early response gene activation even

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
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
## Abstract ## __Background.__ UGT1A7 is an enzyme involved in the metabolism of (pre)carcinogens present in tobacco smoke. We investigated whether genetic polymorphisms in __UGT1A7__, with predicted altered enzyme activity, may have a riskβmodifying effect on head and neck carcinogenesis. ## __M
