Abstract

The effect of the tumor promoter TPA and its inactive structural analogue 4-O-methyl-TPA on the induction of dorsal skin melanosis in the normal Syrian golden hamster and on the promotion of melanomas in DMBA-initiated animals was investigated. Both phenomena were observed in TPA-treated hamsters but could not be detected after exposure of animals to 4-O-methyl-TPA. In contrast to results obtained with a variety of other laboratory animals, neither TPA nor 4-O-methyl-TPA were able to induce epidermal hyperplasia of hamster dorsal skin.
