Characteristics

Originally 30% mammary tumours, but has declined. Susceptible to hepatic carcinogens. Treatment with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine resulted in 59% of mice developing hemorrhagic ovatian lesions but no unterine sarcome. The latter could be induced by DMH and estradiol dipropionate (Tutusov et al, 1994).

Clonidene failed to produce an aggressive behavioural response (cf 3/9) (Nikulina and Klimek, 1993).
