  • Title: Repair kinetics of DNA, RNA and proteins in the tissues of mice treated with doxorubicin.
    Author: Arena E, D'Alessandro N, Dusonchet L, Geraci M, Rausa L, Sanguedolce R.
    Journal: Arzneimittelforschung; 1979; 29(6):901-2. PubMed ID: 582782.
    Abstract:
    Experiments in mice treated with a single 10 mg/kg dose of doxorubicin (adriamycin) i.p. revealed considerable reduction in the incorporation of 3H-thymidine in DNA and of 3H-uridine in RNA, in the spleen and liver, and at mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial level in the heart. Although protein syntheses in the heart and spleen were not reduced by the drug to any great degree, they took 10 days to return to normal; conversely, liver protein syntheses were not inhibited at all and indeed presented signs of stimulation.
