... In the bladder, a linear rate of DNA adduct formation is observed as well, but the tumor rate is consistent with a nonlinear increase in the rate of cell proliferation at high doses and with an effect of dose on rates of transition between cell stages. Saccharin, a nongenotoxic agent, appears to induce bladder cancer as a result of toxicity induced regenerative hyperplasia, and its dose-response model is thus based on an effect on the cell growth rate function and not on transition rates.

Equation 14 can be fitted to the bioassay data for chlordane shown in Table 2 by using the log-logistic form of the growth-rate function described above and making a number of assumptions regarding the needed parameter estimates (see Table 3)
