We investigated the relationship between the toxic effect of allopurinol and pyrimidine metabolism in mice. Allopurinol-induced increases in plasma transaminase levels in dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB)-sensitized mice were not affected by uridine. In contrast, plasma creatinine and BUN tended to decrease 18
