Abstract

A subacute dose of aflatoxin B1 (3 mg/kg body weight) increases liver putrescine levels within 1 hr after administration, with high levels persisting over 24 hr. Higher doses of the carcinogen elicited larger increases in liver polyaminelevels. A marked elevation of putrescine, spermidine and spermine were noted in aflatoxin B1-induced preneoplastic liver. Pretreatment of rats with phenobarbital prior to aflatoxin B1administration resulted in no synergistic or additive effects.
