Previous studies with cultured normal human fibroblasts indicated that treatment of cells with zinc before exposure to an alkylating agent enhanced cell survival by sevento ninefold. To establish whether a similar zinc-induced protective response could be elicited in vivo, we conducted a preliminary
The use of alkylating agents in treating cancer is limited by their toxicity to both normal and tumor tissue. Early in vitro studies indicated that zinc might be effective in mitigating this toxicity to normal tissue. The present studies were done to determine the capability of zinc to induce in vi
