Induction of Lung and Exocrine Pancreas Tumors in F344 Rats

The tobacco-specific A'-nitrosamines 4-(methylnitrosamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanone (NNK) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-l-(3-pyridyl)-l-butanol (NNAL), as well as the /4reca-derived A'-nitrosoguvacoline (NG) were assayed for carcinogenicity in male F344 rats by lifetime adminis tration in the drinking water. Groups of 30 to 80 rats were treated with 0.5 ppm, 1.0 ppm, or 5.0 ppm of NNK; 5.0 npm of N...

The exocrine pancreas

This seminar text reviews various forms of enzyme supplementation used clinically in digestive and absorption disorders. Enzyme supplementation plays an integral role in the management of various digestive disorders, particularly with regard to exocrine pancreatic insufficiency. However, application of enzymes may also be beneficial for other conditions associated with poor digestion including ...

L-homoarginine and cardiovascular disease.

PURPOSE OF REVIEW An increasing number of reports indicate that low levels of the endogenous amino acid L-homoarginine are linked to cardiovascular disease. In this article, we review the current findings regarding L-homoarginine metabolism and (patho-)physiology with a focus on its clinical impact. RECENT FINDINGS Recent clinical and epidemiological studies revealed a strong association of l...
