The results of studies conducted on 355 white nonpedigree male rats (268 experimental and 87 intact animals) indicated that nephrogenic hypertension: a) potentiates the development of benz(a) pyrene induced blastomas; b) enhances, as a rule, the growth of transplantable tumors: carcinoma RS-1 and sarcoma 45; c) results in a tendency to more frequent metastasization of the tumors (Walker carcinosarcoma and Zajdela ascites hepatoma).
