The influence of partial hepatectomy on the genotoxic effect of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) mycotoxin in male Chinese hamsters (Cricetulus griseus) was studied after application of a single i.p. dose of 1.0 mg AFB1/kg. Changes in the fractions of proliferating bone marrow cells, values of the mitotic index of liver cells and morphologic changes in liver tissue were also monitored. Partial hepatectomy reduced significantly the mutagenic activity of AFB1 measured by the frequency of chromosome aberrations in bone marrow cells during 5 days. In hepatectomized animals AFB1 cytotoxicity was significantly reduced as evaluated by changes in the values of proliferating bone marrow cell fractions. There were no important morphologic changes in the liver. In hepatectomized AFB1 treated animals mitotic activity in liver tissue was substantially lower than in hepatectomized but AFB1 untreated animals.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008940 Mitotic Index An expression of the number of mitoses found in a stated number of cells. Index, Mitotic,Indices, Mitotic,Mitotic Indices
D001853 Bone Marrow The soft tissue filling the cavities of bones. Bone marrow exists in two types, yellow and red. Yellow marrow is found in the large cavities of large bones and consists mostly of fat cells and a few primitive blood cells. Red marrow is a hematopoietic tissue and is the site of production of erythrocytes and granular leukocytes. Bone marrow is made up of a framework of connective tissue containing branching fibers with the frame being filled with marrow cells.
