Abstract

The phthalates have been shown to produce hepatic peroxisome proliferation and certain peroxisome proliferators (PPs) are also known to increase the incidence of liver tumors in rodents. In this study we investigated the correlation between oxidative injury, changes in peroxisomal and microsomal enzymes and tumor formation in PP-treated rats.(omitted)
