Abstract

Hybridization to unique DNA by RNA from brain or liver of rats given varying degrees of experience was investigated. RNA from brain of environmentally enriched rats hybridized to more unique DNA than did brain RNA from nonenriched controls. No significant differences were observed with liver RNA. This provides preliminary evidence for an increased transcription of the unique sequences of DNA in the enriched animals. The technique used has great promise for the investigation of experientially‐induced alterations in gene expression.

In a model of secondary liver cancer in Wistar rats the incorporation of 5-FUra into the acid soluble fraction, RNA, and DNA of several normal tissues and of an adenocarcinoma of the colon transplanted to the liver was determined; 300, 1,200 or 24,000 nmoles of 5-FUra were infused via the gastroduod
