Inhibition of colon carcinogenesis by post-initiation induction of NQO1 in Sprague-Dawley rats.
Oncol. Rep. 21(6) , 1559-65, (2009) Inducers of phase II detoxifying enzymes have been studied as chemopreventive agents for a variety of cancers. Phase II detoxifying enzymes may play a significant role in preventing carcinogen-induced colon cancer at the initiation and post-initiation stage, ... |

Therapeutic potential of dithiolethiones for hepatic diseases.
Pharmacol. Ther. 124(1) , 31-43, (2009) Comprehensive studies support the notion that oltipraz [4-methyl-5-(2-pyrazynyl)-1,2-dithiole-3-thione] and its congeners exert cancer chemopreventive effects by the prevention, inhibition or reversal of carcinogenic processes. Recently, it was found that dit... |

Handling the limit of detection by extrapolation.
Stat. Med. 31(26) , 3133-46, (2012) A general method of estimation with a variable observed subject to a limit of detection is introduced. It is based on extrapolation of the estimates obtained by increasing the limit of detection. Theoretical arguments support the method in some special cases,... |
