title: [Carcinogenic effect of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene 5,6-oxide in mice].
abstract: The comparative carcinogenic activities of 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene 5,6-oxide (DMBA-5,6-oxide) and 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) to skin and subcutaneous tissue were studied. It was found that DMBA-5,6-oxide was less carcinogenic to both the skin and subcutaneous tissue, than DMBA. Moreover it does not show any significant initiating acitivity. The results are discussed.
