Pp. Fu et al., CALORIC RESTRICTION PROFOUNDLY INHIBITS LIVER-TUMOR FORMATION AFTER INITIATION BY 6-NITROCHRYSENE IN MALE-MICE, Carcinogenesis, 15(2), 1994, pp. 159-161
Caloric restriction (CR) inhibited strongly the incidence of chemicall
y-induced tumors in the neonatal B6C3F(1) mouse tumorigenicity bioassa
y, when begun 3 months after treatment with the potent carcinogen 6-ni
trochrysene, These data indicate that CR can have a profound inhibitor
y effect on tumor development even long after metabolic activation and
DNA repair have occurred.
