The outline of spontaneous lesions of the nasal cavity that were commonly observed in F344 rats and BDF1 mice used as untreated control groups in ten 2-year carcinogenicity studies were presented. In rats, the common spontaneous lesions were eosinophilic change of the respiratory epithelium and the olfactory epithelium, respiratory metaplasia of glands and the olfactory epithelium, foreign body inflammation, deposit of calcium, and thrombus. In mice, the common spontaneous lesions were eosinophilic change of the respiratory epithelium and olfactory epithelium, and respiratory metaplasia of glands and the olfactory epithelium. Some of these lesions revealed either species or sex-related differences of incidence.

D008679 Metaplasia A condition in which there is a change of one adult cell type to another similar adult cell type.
D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D008811 Mice, Inbred DBA An inbred strain of mouse. Specific substrains are used in a variety of areas of BIOMEDICAL RESEARCH such as DBA/1J, which is used as a model for RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
