In Vivo Studies On the Mechanism of Di(2-Ethylhexyl)Phthalate Carcinogenesis

Abstract
In a study sponsored by the National Toxicology Program, di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP) fed in the diet at 1.2% significantly increased the incidence of female rats with hepatocellular carcinomas. Extensive evaluation of DEHP for carcinogenicity has yielded negative results. The present investigations were designed to elucidate the mechanism of DEHP hepatocarcinogenesis under the conditions of the original bioassay.
