摘要：The feasibility of using biochemical assays of gamma-glutamyltranspeptidase (gamma-GTP) and N-hydroxy-N-2-fluorenylacetamide sulfotransferase (N-OH-2-FAA ST) activities to monitor the effects of treatment of male Sprague-Dawley rats with a two-stage hepatocarcinogenic regimen was investigated. One week after initiation with diethylnitrosamine (200 mg/kg of bw), the rats were treated with 10 oral doses within 2 weeks of N-2-fluorenylacetamide (2-FAA) at 0.05 mmole/kg or vehicle (corn oil) at 5 ml/kg of body weight. After five doses of 2-FAA or corn oil, half of the rats in each group underwent partial (70%) hepatectomy (PH). Three days after completion of 2-FAA treatment, gamma-GTP activity increased approximately 8-fold in the livers of both the nonhepatectomized (-PH) and hepatectomized (+PH) groups. After 17 days, the enzyme activity decreased to the control level in the -PH group but increased 3.1-fold above the control level in the +PH group. After 31, 66, and 87 days, gamma-GTP activity increased only 1.4- to 2.6-fold in the -PH group, whereas that of +PH group increased 15- to 32-fold. N-OH-2-FAA ST activity, determined 3 days after completion of 2-FAA treatment, decreased by approximately 60% in the -PH and +PH groups. After 17 days, the effect of PH became evident in that the losses of N-OH-2-FAA ST activity were smaller (20%) in the -PH than in the +PH group (45.5%). After 31, 66, and 87 days, the respective decreases of 27, 29, and 41% in the +PH group were significant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) Full text Full text is available as a scanned copy of the original print version.
