Abstract
The concentration of bound ^3^H from diethylβ(monoβ2β^3^H)βnitrosamine was determined in five different rat tissues as a function of time after single and repeated oral doses of the labelled carcinogen. The recorded curves can be described as twoβcomponent kinetics. Whereas the first component decreased with a halfβlife of about 3β6 h, the corresponding value for the second component was approximately 90 h. Two hundred and forty hours after a single ^3^HβDEN dose, the highest relative concentration of bound ^3^H was recorded in the liver (1.00), followed by kidney (0.74), spleen (0.40), small intestine (0.18), and lung (0.14). The capacity of the liver to metabolically activate DEN, as reflected by the tissueβspecific accumulation of bound ^3^H after repeated ^3^HβDEN doses, was not impaired at an advanced stage of hepatocarcinogenesis by DEN.
