Bioassay of 3-nitro-p-acetophenetide for possible carcinogenicity.
A bioassay for possible carcinogenicity of 3-nitro-p-acetophenetide was conducted using Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. 3-Nitro-p-acetophenetide was administered in the feed, at either of two concentrations, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species, with the exception of low dose male mice, of which there were 49. Fifty animals of each sex and species were placed on test as ...
متن کاملBioassay of 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole hydrochloride for possible carcinogenicity.
A bioassay of 3-amino-9-ethylcarbazole (hydrochloride) for possible carcinogenicity was conducted by administering the test chemical in feed to Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. Both the free amine and the hydrochloride salt were used. Groups of 50 rats of each sex and 50 mice of each sex were administered the test chemical at one of two doses, either 800 or 2,000 ppm for rats and either 800 or...
متن کاملAnimal carcinogenicity studies: 1. Poor human predictivity.
The regulation of human exposure to potentially carcinogenic chemicals constitutes society's most important use of animal carcinogenicity data. Environmental contaminants of greatest concern within the USA are listed in the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA's) Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS) chemicals database. However, of the 160 IRIS chemicals lacking even limited human exposur...
متن کاملBioassay of 3-chloro-p-toluidine for possible carcinogenicity.
A bioassay for the possible carcinogenicity of 3-chloro-p-toluidine was conducted using Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. 3-Chloro-p-toluidine was administered in the feed, at either of two concentrations, to groups of 50 male and 50 female animals of each species. Twenty animals of each sex and species were placed on test as controls. The time-weighted average dietary concentrations of 3-chlor...
متن کاملSeeking optimal design for animal bioassay studies.
The experimental design of animal bioassay studies—the numbers and placement of doses and the allotment of animals among doses—tends to adhere, if not to specified rules, then at least to strong conventions. In part, this is due to mandated procedures for testing done to support regulation, and in part, it is the codified conventional wisdom gleaned from may years of experience. But there is al...
