Promoting effect of nicotinamide on the development of renal tubular cell tumors in rats initiated with diethylnitrosamine. 1985

M R Rosenberg, and D L Novicki, and R L Jirtle, and A Novotny, and G Michalopoulos

Nicotinamide administered in the drinking water of male Fischer 344 rats increased the number of renal tubular cell tumors of rats treated with an i.p. injection of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) (25-mg/kg body weight). The incidence of kidneys with tumors in rats treated with DEN alone was 5%. In rats which received DEN and then were promoted with either 30 or 6.7 mM nicotinamide in their drinking water, the incidence of kidneys with tumors rose to 59 and 28%, respectively. Rats which were on 30 mM nicotinamide but did not receive DEN had no kidney tumors present. These results show that nicotinamide promoted DEN-induced renal tubular cell tumorigenesis.

D007684 Kidney Tubules Long convoluted tubules in the nephrons. They collect filtrate from blood passing through the KIDNEY GLOMERULUS and process this filtrate into URINE. Each renal tubule consists of a BOWMAN CAPSULE; PROXIMAL KIDNEY TUBULE; LOOP OF HENLE; DISTAL KIDNEY TUBULE; and KIDNEY COLLECTING DUCT leading to the central cavity of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS) that connects to the URETER.

D008854 Microscopy, Electron Microscopy using an electron beam, instead of light, to visualize the sample, thereby allowing much greater magnification. The interactions of ELECTRONS with specimens are used to provide information about the fine structure of that specimen. In TRANSMISSION ELECTRON MICROSCOPY the reactions of the electrons that are transmitted through the specimen are imaged. In SCANNING ELECTRON MICROSCOPY an electron beam falls at a non-normal angle on the specimen and the image is derived from the reactions occurring above the plane of the specimen. Electron Microscopy
D009536 Niacinamide An important compound functioning as a component of the coenzyme NAD. Its primary significance is in the prevention and/or cure of blacktongue and PELLAGRA. Most animals cannot manufacture this compound in amounts sufficient to prevent nutritional deficiency and it therefore must be supplemented through dietary intake.
