Abstract:
Refeeding rats treated with a single high dose of ethylene dibromide (1,2-dibromoethane, EDB) induced liver DNA synthesis. The peak of DNA synthesis, as measured by [methyl-3H]thymidine incorporation was attained after 24 h in refed rats and at 48 h in fasted ones. Fasting enhances the EDB action leading to liver cell necrosis, as shown by elevation of serum enzymes' activities, glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) and sorbital dehydrogenase (SDH). A low dose of EDB administered during 2 and 3 weeks slightly enhanced the liver DNA synthesis and elevated the activity of serum enzymes. Phenobarbitone (PB) treatment of rats together with low dose of EDB during 2 weeks prevented the enzyme activity elevation and attenuated the DNA synthesis. Diethyldithiocarbamate (DDC) pretreatment potentiated the DNA synthesis in fed rats after both a small dose of EDB for 2 weeks and after a single high-dose treatment. In DDC pretreated rats, the high dose of EDB caused biochemical perturbations in serum and liver representative of liver cell necrosis; changes in serum enzymes' activities also were noticed as early as 2 h after EDB toxication. The possible function of modulators on the mitogenic or the necrogenic action of EDB is discussed.
