| Abstract | A comparative study of the effects of the polychlorinated biphenyl mixture Aroclor 1254, 3-methylcholanthrene, and starvation on hepatic dimethylnitrosamine (DMN) demethylase (a repressible enzyme) and azo dye N-demethylase (an inducible enzyme) has been carried out. As previously observed with polycyclic hydrocarbons and phenobarbital, Aroclor in rats is a potent inducer of liver tissue proliferation and of azo dye N-demethylase. However, in mice, although the inducing effect on liver tissue proliferation and azo dye N-demethylase activity is maintained, there is no change in DMN demethylase activity as a result of Aroclor administration. As in rats, 3-methylcholanthrene induces the azo dye N-demethylase in mice. This hydrocarbon, which is known to substantially repress the DMN demethylase in rats, has, however, no effect on this enzyme in mice. While starvation is known to have a substantial inducing effect on DMN demethylase in rats, in mice starvation brings about a moderate induction of DMN demethylase. |
