Abstract
Livers in anesthetized rats were exposed to 1.90 mHz, 60 mW/cm^2^ (spatial average) continuous wave ultrasound for five minutes. Subsequent mitotic activity was stimulated by partial hepatectomy. About thirty hours following stimulation (the time of peak mitotic activity in control animals), exposed animals had mean mitotic indices ranging from 20 to 80% of control values.

Allylisothiocyanate (AITC) has been evaluated for its ability to initiate unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in the livers of male rats in vivo. Specific Pathogen Free outbred albino Hsd/Ola Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed by oral gavage to 37.5 or 125 mg/kg AITC in corn oil and hepatocytes assessed f
