title: [The effect of subcutaneous nitrosamine injections on the origin of tumors of the liver and their inhibition by vitamin C].
abstract: Experiments were conducted on Wistar rats for the purpose of finding out, whether peroral vitamin C application is capable of inhibiting carcinogenesis through subcutaneous injection of nitrosamine. One group of animals received injections of N-nitrosodiethylamine, while high doses of vitamin C were additionally administered to a second group in drinking water. Vitamin C only was given to a third group (control). Numerous liver carcinomas developed in response to nitrosamine application. No numerical difference was found to exist between the groups with and without vitamin C.
