Abstract
Endogenous (estradiol-17 beta; progesterone) and synthetic (ethinyl estradiol; cyproterone acetate; norethindrone acetate; norethynodrel) sex steroids were evaluated for tumor-initiating activity in the rat liver using the Solt-Farber system. All steroids were negative. This provides further evidence that tumor formation in long-term rodent bioassays by these compounds may be due to epigenetic mechanisms.Entities:
