Title: Cortisol suppresses radiation transformation in vitro.

Authors: Kennedy, A R

Published In Cancer Lett, (1985 Dec)

Abstract: It is reported that 10(-7) M cortisol has a significant suppressive effect on radiation-induced transformation in vitro in C3H10T1/2 cells. Previously reported data showed a significant enhancing effect for similar experiments performed with cortisone. Thus, these two structurally similar glucocorticoid hormones have opposite effects on transformation induced by ionizing radiation.
