Di-n-propylnitrosamine (DPN) and methyl-n-propylnitrosamine (MPN) induced mainly respiratory tract neoplasms in female NMRI mice after subcutaneous administration. The majority of tumors occurred in the nasal cavities, although significant incidences were also found in the larynx, trachea and stem bronchi. Treatment with both substances additionally resulted in vascular neoplasms of the liver, while DPN only caused tumors in the pharynx, esophagus and forestomach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
