January 2006 in “Carcinogenesis” In this study, crossing mice overexpressing antizyme with MEK mutants significantly delayed tumor development and reduced tumor frequency, likely by slowing cell growth in skin tumors.

,
July 2013 in “Amino Acids” This study found that elevated epidermal ODC activity in transgenic mice promotes skin tumor development by recruiting bulge stem cells, rather than through reactive oxygen species generation by polyamine catabolic oxidases.
71 citations
,
May 1996 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study found that overexpression of a mutated ornithine decarboxylase transgene in mice led to complete hair loss, which could be prevented or reversed with an ODC inhibitor.
1 citations
,
January 1989 in “Carcinogenesis” This study found that dexamethasone treatment inhibited the inflammatory response and the induction of ornithine decarboxylase activity in mouse skin after TPA application, although the effect on ODC was weaker during the hyperplastic stage.

June 1988 in “Journal of Steroid Biochemistry” This study found that combining Flutamide and an LHRH agonist in adult male rats effectively inhibited prostatic growth and reduced androgen-sensitive prostatic activity markers to levels similar to castrated rats.
