γ-Glutamyl transpeptidase is normally not present in adult rat hepatocytes, but its expression is induced by a range of xenobiotics, including carcinogens and chemopreventive agents. Synthesis of the enzyme is mediated by at least six mRNAs transcribed from tandemly arranged promoters on a single ge

The initiating and promoting effects of trichloroethylene in rat liver were investigated using the enzyme-altered foci bioassay. The incidence of gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT)-positive foci was used as an early histochemical marker of putative preneoplastic hepatocytes. A single PO dose of tri
## Abstract Dimethylarsinic acid (DMA) is a major metabolite of inorganic arsenicals, which are epidemiologically significant chemicals in relation to liver cancer in mammals. The present study was conducted to determine the promoting effects of organic arsenicals related to DMA [monomethylarsonic
