Description/Abstract | The initiating and promoting effects of trichloroacetic acid (TCA) were investigated using a rat hepatic enzyme-altered foci bioassay.^The experimental protocol used has been shown to induce ..gamma..-glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT)-positive foci in hepatic tissue following an initiating dose with a genotoxic carcinogen.^Twenty-four hours following 2/3 partial hepatectomy, rats received either a single oral dose (1500 mg/kg) or 5000 ppm TCA in drinking water for 10, 20, or 30 days.^Two weeks after the end of TCA exposure, the rats were promoted for 3 or 6 months with 500 ppm phenobarbital in drinking water.^TCA failed to induce GGT-positive foci using this initiation protocol.^In addition, groups of 2/3 partially hepatectomized rats were initiated with a single oral dose of diethylnitrosamine (10 mg/kg) and then administered 50, 500, or 5000 ppm TCA drinking water.^In this promotion protocol, TCA exposure resulted in a significant increase in the number of GGT-positive foci.^The ability of TCA to stimulate peroxisomal-dependent palmitoyl-coenzyme A oxidation was also investigated.^The findings support the hypothesis that TCA may possess weak promoting activity in the rat liver. |
