Hypothesis for mammary tumorigenesis in Sprague-Dawley rats exposed to certain triazine herbicides

Abstract

The symmetrical triazine herbicides have been used for the preemergence control of broadleaf weeds for nearly three decades. Recently, certain members of this class, primarily the chlorotriazines (substituted in the 2 position), have been shown to evoke an increased incidence of mammary tumors in female Sprague-Dawley rats. This response was noted when these chemicals were administered in the diet for 2 yr, and most often at dietary feeding levels at or above the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). At levels exceeding the MTD the health of these animals was compromised, as manifested by toxicity-related reduced survival that was not associated with the occurrence of mammary tumors. Mammary tumors in rats frequently occur as a result of the influence of endogenous estradiol and prolactin. Those hormones, as well as progesterone, growth-stimulating, luteinizing, and follicle-stimulating hormones, were measured after 24 mo of dietary administration of the chlorotriazine, simazine. The plasma hormone pattern seen in aged female Sprague-Dawley rats administered 1000 ppm simazine in the diet for 24 mo resembled that noted for aged female controls, except that the difference was more pronounced in the simazine-treated group. These results s...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
