We tested the ability of phenobarbital and two liver carcinogens, acetoxime and 1-nitroso-5,6-dihydrouracil (NDHU), to induce hyperplastic liver nodules (HLN) in MRC-Wistar and Wistar rats, using a system that included a single diethylnitrosamine (DEN) treatment, partial hepatectomy, and administration of
The hepatocarcinogens 2-nitropropane and acetoxime have previously been found to induce a specific and qualitatively identical pattern of base damage in rat liver DNA and RNA, including the induction of increased levels of 8-hydroxyguanine. Because both 2-nitropropane and acetoxime are
Preparation of adducts from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and a number of oximes is described; these include acetoxime, pyruvatoxime, cyclohexanoxime, cyclopentanoxime. These adducts are closely related to the corresponding NAD-ketone adducts in their spectra properties, but they are stable in acid
The industrial solvent 2-nitropropane (2-NP) is a genotoxic hepatocarcinogen in rats. The genotoxicity of the compound in rats has been attributed to sulfotransferase-mediated formation of DNA-reactive nitrenium ions from the anionic form of 2-NP, propane 2-nitronate (P2N). Whether human sulfotransferases

Previously, the secondary nitroalkane 2-nitropropane, a strong hepatocarcinogen in rats, had been shown to induce the formation of 8-aminoguanine in both DNA and RNA of rat liver through a sulfotransferase-mediated pathway. This pathway was postulated to convert the carcinogen into
