## Abstract The distribution of glycogen in livers of DABβfed rats has been examined by the PAS reaction. At early stages of DAB feeding, a loss of glycogen was observed in cells of centrolobular areas undergoing a degenerative process. Intense glycogen staining was shown, on the other hand, by the

Abstract
The relationship between DAB carcinogenesis and changes of lysosomes in rat liver was investigated. After 40 days of treatment with DAB, nodules and an abnormal cell population, containing small, large and degenerative cells, appeared. Corresponding to these changes, the S/P ratio of lysosomal enzymes such as acid RNase and Ξ²βglucuronidase increased to two or three times the normal value. These alterations were considered along with some histochemical observations on Ξ²βglucuronidase. A possible participation of these lysosomal enzymes in carcinogenesis is discussed.
