DMBA = Animals serving as negative control receiving distilled water; DMBA + TARZ = Animals receiving tartrazine at a dose of 50 mg/kg; DMBA + COL = Animals receiving a natural dye at a dose of 50 mg/kg. Dots represent means ± SEM (n = 8). All animals were exposed to a single dose of DMBA (50 mg/kg)Back to article page
