| Abstract |
The primary objective of the research project was to determine whether there was a dose-response effect of arsenite (AsIII) as a promoter of DENA-initiated tumors in the kidneys of partially hepatectomized rats. Secondary objectives were to complete the study extending from the previous grant which was to determine whether arsenite (AsIII), arsenate (AsV) and dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) were initiator carcinogens and/or promoters of DENA-initiated tumors in the rat kidney. In addition an analytical method for measuring the above three arsenic species simultaneously in the same biological sample was to be developed. A dose-response was observed for AsIII promotion in partially hepatectomized DENA-initiated rats at concentrations of 40, 80 and 160 mg/L in the drinking water but it was not statistically significant. AsIII and AsV did not have any initiator activity in intact male Wistar rats but significantly promoted DENA-initiated renal tumors in these animals. DMA had neither initiator nor promoter activity. |
