Fish Research . . . . Other Species . Gene Receptors . . . Cell Controls . Cell Culture . Some of the factors that in reasonable physiological concentrations increased this ratio were ascorbic acid and alpha tocopherol.
Retinol acetate to a much lessor extend had a similar effect.
Then extend the same queries and tests to other types of cancer. Task 2 . Confirm whether past experiments, that show a correlation of hepatoma susceptibility to the deficiency of the detoxifying catalase enzyme found in certain fish species, is a phenomenon that occurs repeatedly or generally in cancer susceptible species. Determine if the development of tumors in trout liver and in other locations and animals is related to a dysfunction of certain gene receptors. Of particular concern are the receptors which activate transcription for proteins effecting cell differentiation.
