Contribution of maternal chronic experimental hepatic disease to the development of nonspecific cell resistance in the progeny.

Morphofunctional pecularities of the bone marrow neutrophil maturation were studied in the progeny of female rats with chronic experimental toxic hepatitis, similar to hepatitis B by morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics. The lysosomal, phagocytic, and killing activities of cells were reduced during the morphologically identifiable stages of neutrophilopoiesis (myeloblasts, promyelocytes, myelocytes, metamyelocytes, stab and segmented neutrophils).

[Sodium nitrite-induced potentiation of spontaneous and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine-induced carcinogenesis in male mice F1 (C57 B1xCBA)].

Chronic sodium nitrite (SN) treatment potentiated spontaneous and 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced carcinogenesis. Mice injected with SN alone showed a higher incidence of leukemia and lung cancer than in controls. Combined treatment with DMH and SN induced most of benign and malignant tumors (hepatic hemangioendothelioma, hepatocarcinoma, renal adenoma, etc.
