The Relation between Growth Inhibition, Toxicity and Protein Metabolism in Rats Treated with 1:2:5:6-Dibenzanthracene

THE conclusion was reached by Elson, Goulden and Warren (1947) that the growth inhibition produced by 1:2:5:6-dibenzanthracene cannot be explained by the mere deprivation of essential sulphur-containing amino acids, and a search for the true mechanism of this effect has therefore been carried out.
