Abstract
The present paper describes an experiment designed to investigate the effects of the combined action of different doses of N-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and ethyl alcohol in BDVI rats. Dose-response relationships of NNN was clearly shown. Ethyl alcohol did not appear to increase, to a great degree, the tumour incidence of NNN. However, ethyl alcohol did shorten the tumour latency period in the groups given NNN in alcoholic solution. In addition, an infiltration of the olfactory tumours to the brain was observed more frequently in both males and females given the high dose of NNN in alcoholic solution.
