Involvement of metallothionein (MT) as a biological protective factor against carcinogenesis induced by benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P).
The purpose of this study was to examine whether intracellular metallothionein (MT) protects against benzo[a]pyrene (B[a]P)-induced forestomach and lung carcinogenesis. Ten-week-old male MT-I/II null mice and wild-type mice were orally administered B[a]P at a dose of 100 or 250 mg/kg twice a week fo...
