Abstract
Twenty-eight mammary carcinomata were maintained in organ culture in the presence of various hormones. The effects of the hormones have been assessed histologically by estimation of total dehydrogenases activity of the pentose glycolytic pathway and by the incorporation of tritiated thymidine or uridine into DNA or RNA. No significant effects on tumour cell activity due to hormones have been observed.
