Abstract
The effects of triiodothyronine (T3), hydrocortisone and insulin on X-ray-induced transformation of [mouse embryonic fibroblast] BALB/3T3 A31-1-1 cloned cells were examined. Under the experimental conditions employed, the addition of 10-7 M T3 or hydrocortisone to the serum-containing medium had little effect on the transformation. The addition of insulin dramatically enhanced the transformation. The effect of insulin was concentration-dependent up to 10 .mu.g/ml and was consistently observed with X-rays at various doses.
