β¦ Synopsis
Initiation and promotion have been recognized as essential parts of the multi-stage concept of chemical carcinogenesis. In the liver, initiation by genotoxic carcinogens results in appearance of foci of phenotypically altered hepatocytes. Accelerated growth and phenotypic changes of these foci during tumor promotion by phenobarbital are described, and possible mechanisms of initiation and promotion considered.

## Abstract It has been suggested that patients with nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) may have high risk for liver cancer. However, it is unknown whether highβfat diet (HFD) induced NASH promotes hepatocarcinogenesis. In this study, SpragueβDawley rats were injected with a low dose of hepatic ca
