Changes in concentrations of methylglyoxal,d-lactate and glyoxalase activities in liver and plasma of rats fed a 3′-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene-rich diet
Donryu male albino rats were fed a diet containing 0.064% 3′-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (MDAB) for 21 weeks. During the ensuing rat liver carcinogenesis, changes in the concentrations of methylglyoxal,d-lac...
