Alpha-fetoprotein dynamics during ethionine-induced hepatocarcinogenesis in rat
Rats fed on a diet containing 0.25% DL-ethionine (ethionine), which has been usually used as carcinogenic dose, demonstrated the early elevations of serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) approximately in week 6 of the...

Effect of 3′-Methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene on liver cells from adult rat in primary culture
Primary mass cultures of isolated liver cells, which were prepared from normal adult rat by a collagenase-liver-perfusion technique, were treated with 3′-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene (3′-Me-DAB) to study t...

Influence of methionine administration on serum alpha-fetoprotein levels in ethionine-injured rats
Serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) concentrations increased promptly 2 days following a single injection of DL-ethionine (ethionine) in adult female rats. Continuous elevation of serum AFP was also observed on feed...
