title: [Effect of vilon and epithalone on induction and growth of induced bladder neoplasms in rats].
abstract: Experimental data on the effect of peptides--Vilon (Lys-Glu) and Epitalon (Ala-Glu-Asp-Gly)--on induction of urinary bladder tumors in rats are presented. Treatment with Vilon was followed by a significant fall in tumor incidence in 56% of experimental animals, as compared with 75.5% in control, as well as inhibition of early-onset neoplastic changes in the bladder mucosa. No inhibitory effect of Epitalon was recorded.
