1 Prompt elevation of rat serum alpha-fetoprotein by acute liver injury following a single injection of ethionine. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
2 The mechanism of increased alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production following a single injection of ethionine was investigated by using rats aged 5 weeks at the time of killing. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
3 The mechanism of increased alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) production following a single injection of ethionine was investigated by using rats aged 5 weeks at the time of killing. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
4 Marked elevations of serum AFP concentrations occurred within 4 days in both male and female rats after administration of DL-ethionine or L-ethionine, although the increased levels of serum AFP and liver triglyceride in the adults were less marked in the male than in the female. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
5 Frequent administrations of adenosine triphosphate after a single dose of ethionine prevented the increases in liver triglyceride and serum AFP levels. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
6 The serum AFP from ethionine-treated rats was immunologically and electrophoretically indistinguishable from that of fetal, carbontetrachloride-treated or hepatoma-bearing rats. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
7 These observations suggest that the increased production of AFP in ethionine-treated rats is closely associated with hepatic injury and is not the consequence of liver cell regeneration. Ethionine alpha-fetoprotein Rattus norvegicus
