Distribution of radioactivity from 14C-formaldehyde in pregnant mice and their fetuses.

چکیده
The distribution of 14C after the administration of 14C-formaldehyde was studied in pregnant mice by a whole body low temperature autoradiographic technique. The concentrations of formaldehyde and its metabolites in maternal and fetal blood and tissues were determined in unsectioned tissues by liquid scintillation spectrophotometry. The binding of 14C from 14C-formaldehyde to cells and DNA in maternal and fetal mouse liver was also measured. Radioactivity of 14C deriving from 14C-formaldehyde was found immediately after injection, and showed strong accumulation and retention three hours after injection. The organs that had high concentrations at all studied survival intervals were maternal liver, intestinal mucosa, bone marrow, kidneys, and salivary glands. Considerable amounts of radioactivity were found in the fetuses at six hours after injection, and the concentrations were almost the same as in the maternal tissues. The elimination of 14C-formaldehyde and metabolites from the placenta and fetus occurred more slowly than from maternal tissue.

SUMMARY Pregnant and nonpregnant mice received injections of 3-methylcholanthrene-' 4C by several routes and were killed after various intervals. Macroautoradiographs of whole-body sections were examined, and the radioactivity in several organs was measured. The distribution of the compound in various tissues and its clearance were elucidated from the data obtained. This carcinogen is metaboliz...
متن کامل[Methyl-14C]-choline incorporation into nude mice bearing tumor xenografts-correlation with [methyl-3H]-thymidine: A pilot study
Background: Many in vitro studies suggested that choline incorporation into many types of tumors is related to cell proliferation. Whether in vivo choline incorporation is related also to cell proliferation or not was my question. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to investigate the relationship of in vivo [methyl- 14C]-choline incorporation and in vivo [methyl-3H]- thymidine incorpora...
