" To investigate the effects of ethinylestradiol (EE) and methoxychlor (MXC) on development of ENU-induced uterine tumors, female p53 (+/-) mice and their wild-type littermates [p53 (+/+) mice] received an intraperitoneal injection of 120 mg/kg body weight (bw) of ENU, followed, in Group 1, by no further treatment; in Group 2, by a diet containing 1 ppm EE; in Group 3, by a diet containing 5 ppm EE for 4 weeks and 2."3.70Modifying effects of ethinylestradiol but not methoxychlor on N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea-induced uterine carcinogenesis in heterozygous p53-deficient CBA mice.
