    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...

    Increase ofS-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)glutathione in regenerating rat liver

    Changes in the level ofS-(1,2-dicarboxyethyl)glutathione (DCE-GS) with time were determined during regeneration of rat liver after partial hepatectomy. The DCE-GS level increased in regenerating rat liver, reachi...
