Induction of glutathione S-transferase placental form (GST-P) positive hepatic foci has been examined by immunohistochemical analysis in young male Fischer rats 3 weeks after a single i.p. injection of aflatoxin B1 (AFB1). Pretreatment of rats with L-buthionine sulfoximine (BSO), a GSH depleter, at a dose of 4 mmol/kg body wt 4 and 2 h before 1.0 mg AFB1 treatment enhanced both the number of AFB1-induced hepatic foci and the area occupied by these foci by approximately 400 and 575% above their respective controls without affecting the mean diameter of these foci. Pretreatment of rats with 0.1% phenobarbital (PB) in their drinking water for 1 week before AFB1 (1 mg) treatment, inhibited AFB1-induced foci almost completely. However, the number of AFB1-induced foci in PB-pretreated rats was not significantly increased by BSO pretreatment.

D010634 Phenobarbital A barbituric acid derivative that acts as a nonselective central nervous system depressant. It potentiates GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID action on GABA-A RECEPTORS, and modulates chloride currents through receptor channels. It also inhibits glutamate induced depolarizations.

D004247 DNA A deoxyribonucleotide polymer that is the primary genetic material of all cells. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms normally contain DNA in a double-stranded state, yet several important biological processes transiently involve single-stranded regions. DNA, which consists of a polysugar-phosphate backbone possessing projections of purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (thymine and cytosine), forms a double helix that is held together by hydrogen bonds between these purines and pyrimidines (adenine to thymine and guanine to cytosine).
