In NZO inbred mice a single dose of dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) induced kidney tumors in males only; females did not develop kidney tumors even when the dose of DMN was doubled. Orchiectomy before DMN injection abolished the kidney tumor response in male mice. These observations imply that androgens are essential for renal carcinogenesis by DMN in the NZO mouse.
在新西兰近交系小鼠中,单剂量的二甲基亚硝胺(DMN)仅在雄性小鼠中诱发肾肿瘤;即使将DMN剂量加倍,雌性小鼠也不会发生肾肿瘤。在注射DMN之前进行睾丸切除术可消除雄性小鼠的肾肿瘤反应。这些观察结果表明,雄激素对于NZO小鼠中DMN诱导的肾致癌作用至关重要。
