Six nitrosamides [ethylnitrosourea (ENU), 2-hydroxyethylnitrosourea (HENU), carboxymethylnitrosourea, 1-nitroso-5,6-dihydrouracil (NDHU), 1-nitrosohydantoin, and N-methyl-N-nitrosobenzamide (MNB)] and ethylnitrosocyanamide (ENC) were administered chronically in sodium citrate-buffered drinking water to MRC Wistar rats. ENU induced tumors of the reticuloendothelial system (RES) (50% incidence), mammary glands, and large intestine. NDHU in drinking water produced hepatocellular carcinomas (96… CONTINUE READING
