Animals were divided into 5 groups, and groups 1 to 3 were given OH-BBN (500 ppm) in drinking water for 6 weeks. Mice in group 2 were fed a diet containing 1000 ppm silymarin for 8 weeks during the initiation phase starting 1 week before OH-BBN exposure, and mice in group 3 were fed the diet for 24 weeks during the postinitiation phase.
