Abstract
THE œstrogenic action of certain carcinogenic hydrocarbons such as 3 : 4 benzpyrene and 5 : 6 cyclopentane-l : 2 benzanthracene and the carcinogenic effect of œstrogenic hormones (see recent review by Greenstein1) suggested to us a comparison of the cytochemical effects of œstradiol on the vaginal wall of mice with the primary effects of methylcholanthrene on the epidermis studied in detail by Cowdry and his collaborators.
