Nitrogen dioxide's rats' inhalations with injections per os of pyrazole, amidopyrine and sodium nitrite lead to considerable increasing of endogenic N-nitrosodimethylamine formation, which had been determined by system gas chromatograph-thermal energetic analyser. This increasing essentially didn't depend on the rats' immunisation by vaccine BCG, which leads to the intensification of NO synthesis by peritoneal macrophages and others manifestations of their metabolic activation: increasing of creatine kinase and adenosine desaminase activities. It hadn't been brought to light the obvious dependent between changes of xanthine oxidase and xanthine dehydrogenase activities in the liver and blood serum and intensification of lipids peroxidation and also the amount of N-nitrosodimethylamine in the rats in the conditions of endogenic and exogenic nitrosation factors' influence.

Integration of the rat liver micronucleus assay into a 28-day treatment protocol: testing the genotoxicity of four small-molecule nitrosamines with different carcinogenic potencies and tumor target specificities.

Several potent carcinogenic nitrosamines, including N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA), induce micronuclei in the micronucleated hepatocyte (MNHEP) assay but not in the micronucleated reticulocyte (MNRET) assay. However, the MNHEP assay is not as frequently used as the MNRET assay for evaluating in vivo genotoxicity. The present study evaluated MN formation in the liver of Big Blue transgenic rats exposed to four small-molecule nitrosamines, NDMA, N-nitrosodiisopropylamine (NDIPA), N-nitrosoethylisoporpylamine (NEIPA), and N-nitrosomethylphenylamine (NMPA), using a repeat-dose protocol typically used for in vivo mutagenicity studies.

Article Synopsis
- The study assesses human exposure to NDMA by comparing biomonitoring measurements in healthy Korean men and women to gender-specific exposure guidance values.
- A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was developed, incorporating physiological and biochemical parameters, to better understand how NDMA is processed in the body.
- Findings revealed that daily exposures to NDMA are approximately 3.95 μg/day/kg for men and 10.60 μg/day/kg for women, providing essential data for future risk management and regulatory decisions.

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is fatty liver mainly related to metabolic syndrome. NAFLD with inflammation and hepatocellular damage is defined as nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), which can progress to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma. We have previously reported that a hexane insoluble fraction from an anthocyanin-rich purple rice ethanolic extract (PRE-HIF) can suppress prostate carcinogenesis.

The finding of N-nitrosodiethylamine (NDEA) and N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in marketed drugs has led to implementation of risk assessment processes intended to limit exposures to the entire class of N-nitrosamines. A critical component of the risk assessment process is establishing exposure limits that are protective of human health. One approach to establishing exposure limits for novel N-nitrosamines is to conduct an in vivo transgenic rodent (TGR) mutation study.

Background: Complementary medicine is an interesting field for extracting bioactive compounds from various plant and animal sources. The hepatoprotective effect of the methanolic extract of a species of sea cucumber called Holothuria leucospilota in an animal model of liver cancer caused by dimethyl nitrosamine (DMN) was studied.
Methods: Wistar female rats were randomly divided into five groups (n = 12): control (intact), positive control (received 1% DMN [10 mg/kg/week, intraperitoneally] for 12 weeks), and three treatment groups (received 50, 100, and 200 mg/kg/day H.
