Reversal of fluasterone inhibition of TPA promotion of skin papillomas by deoxyribonucleoside (DRN) administration. Color photograph of one mouse from the TPA (left), fluasterone + TPA (center), fluasterone + TPA + DRN (right) treatment groups. The picture was taken after 64 days of TPA treatment, and each animal represented the mouse with the greatest number of tumors in its respective group at that time: TPA, 24 tumors; fluasterone + TPA, 4 tumors; and fluasterone + TPA + DRN, 26 tumors. Mice were anesthetized with Metofane (not euthanized) prior to taking pictures.
