This product can potently induce colon cancer in mice and rats. As a reagent for establishing colon cancer models, it is widely used in the exploration of cancer preventive substances and the research on the mechanism of cancer initiation. As concerns about colon cancer continue to increase, and the search for cancer preventive substances becomes more active, the role this product plays is very important. The average dose of this product was 15 mg/kg (body weight) administered subcutaneously to rats once weekly for approximately 3 weeks, after which abnormal crypt foci (ACF) were detected.
Reagents for establishing pathological animal models
The use of pathological model animals is one of the important research methods to study various diseases. By administering chemical substances to animals such as rats and mice, pathological animal models that express the characteristics of human diseases can be established.
