Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
Number of foci per cm² were significantly increased in the group given the test substance together with nitrite compared to values for groups given test article or nitrite alone. Further, the numbers of lesions were essentially similar to those found in rats given carcinogenic doses of Nitroso-dimethylmorpholine. The results clearly demonstrate hepatocyte initiation activities of endogenously formed carcinogens.
