摘要
Tumor promoter effects of steroid hormones were tested in ovariectomized rats treated with the tumor initiator, methylnitrosourea. Continuous treatment with low doses of estrone induced tumor in 55% of experimental animals while intact control animals had a 96-100% incidence. Although progesterone alone produced no tumors in ovariectomized, methylnitrosourea-treated animals, estrone and progesterone acted synergistically, inducing tumorigenesis in 88% of treated rats. These results point to an important interaction between estrogens and progestins in promoting mammary tumorigenesis. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
