[The effect of various solvents (benzene, toluene, acetone) used with carcinogens on the collagen content of the mouse dorsal skin].
Benzene, toluene and acetone--frequently used as solvents of skin carcinogens--have different effects on the skin collagen of mice: Benzene and toluene lower the collagen content significantly whereas acetone does not. Methylcholanthrene solved in acetone causes a slower collagen decrease and a longer latency period of tumor development as can be observed, when solved in benzene or toluene. This leads to the conclusion, that benzene and toluene have a cocarcinogenic potency.
