Biochemical alterations in the levels of DNA, RNA and protein in discrete areas of rat brain following Nuvacron toxicity.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The levels of DNA, RNA and Protein were estimated in cerebral hemisphere, cerebellum and brain stem of male albino rats with Nuvacron (0, 0, dimethyl-0-1 methyl 3-methylamino-3-oxe-1-propenyl phosphate) 4 mg/kg body weight intraperitoneally (i.p.) daily for 10 days. The daily i.p. dose of Nuvacron depleted the level of DNA and protein in all brain regions. Increased level of RNA was observed in cerebral hemisphere, cerebellum and brain stem.

Neuronal and astroglial cells were prepared from whole brain of three month and 30-month- old rats for study of alterations in the nuclear poly ADP-ribosylation and DNA breaks with age. The relative purity of the cell preparations was confirmed by the determination of the neurofilament (low molecular weight) and glutamine synthetase content of the cells using ELISA. An increase (75%) in th...
