Abstract
DNA repair time-course was studied after injury by N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU) in rat liver cells of animals of different ages and in fetuses using hydroxyurea (HU) as inhibitor of scheduled DNA synthesis. DNA repair was a rapid phenomenon, more so in young adults than in newborns, and was not detectable in fetuses. A correlation seems to exist among organ sensitivity to carcinogen, age of animal and DNA repair.Entities:
