| Abstract | We have previously reported that the DNA-reactive hepatocarcinogen 2-acetylaminofluorene (AAF) produced in rat liver several key effects that were less than linear over a range of repeat doses, and that at low cumulative doses, no-adverse-effect-levels (NOAEL) were observed for several effects including hepatocellular cytotoxicity, enhanced cell proliferation, induction of preneoplastic foci and promotable liver neoplasms, although DNA adducts were still formed at dosages below the lowest NOAEL of 28 mg kg−1 cumulative dose for these other effects. This report details two further dose-effect studies at lower repeat doses than those previously used as well as identification of the specific types of DNA adducts formed. AAF was administered orally to male F344 rats by gavage at repeat dosages which in one experiment (A) ranged from 0.01 to 2.24 mg kg−1 bw per day, 7 days per week for 12 weeks followed by recovery for 4 weeks, and in a second (B) at lower dosages of 0.0026 or 0.026 mg kg−1 bw per day 3 days per week for 16 weeks. Initially the nonacetylated guanine adduct, N-(deoxyguanosine-8-yl)-aminofluorene, predominated. With continued dosing, the pattern of adducts changed such that by 4 weeks more acetylated, N-(deoxyguanosine-N2-yl)-AAF and N-(deoxyguanosine-8-yl)-AAF, adducts were present. In experiment A, total adducts reached a maximum by 12 weeks with levels of 6.0 adducts per 108 nucleotides at the lowest dosage. In experiment B, the total DNA adducts at the lowest dosage was below the limit of detection at 12 weeks, and at 0.6 in 108 nucleotides at 16 weeks, levels within the background range of 1.0–3.1 per 108 nucleotides. Thus, the cumulative dose of 0.125 mg kg−1 bw over 16 weeks was a NOAEL for adducts and hence would be predicted to be a threshold for hepatocarcinogenicity. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
