  • Title: Carcinoma and cirrhosis of the liver in A X C male rats with one kidney ingesting 0.025% N-2-fluorenyldiacetamide.
    Author: Reuber MD.
    Journal: Pathol Microbiol (Basel); 1975; 42(2):119-26. PubMed ID: 1178230.
    Abstract:
    The role of the kidneys in hepatic carcinogenesis was studies in inbred A X C strain male rats ingesting 0.025% N-2-fluorenyldiacetamide. The experimental groups consisted of male rats with both kidney intact and male rats that had the left kidney removed. The incidence of hepatic carcinomas and the number of rats with large carcinomas, multiple carcinomas, poorly differentiated and undifferentiated carcinomas, and metastases was greater in rats with a left nephrectomy. The incidence of cirrhosis was the same in animals in both groups; however, cirrhosis was more severe in degree in the rats with the left kidney removed. Some animals in the latter group also developed carcinosarcomas of the salivary glands. The animals with one kidney apparently were not able to excrete the active metabolites of N-2-fluorenyldiacetamide as readily as the animals with both kidneys intact. The metabolites were then returned to the liver and salivary gland.
