| Abstract: | Excretion and distribution of single and multiple intraperitoneal doses of 35S]captan and 14C]folpet were similar in normal and 70% hepatectomized male rats. After receiving the single dose of captan, the rats eliminate approximately 76% of the radioactivity in the urine after 72 hr. The elimination in the feces for the same time period was 13%. Normal rats administered single or multiple doses of 14C]folpet excreted nearly 100% of the total dose in the urine within the first 24 hr. Nuclei isolated from the liver of normal and 70% hepatectomized rats receiving multiple doses of 35S]captan contained 0.008–0.009 μg 35S/g of tissue. Appreciable amounts of the radioactivity from 35S]captan were bound by isolated nuclei from the livers of normal and partially hepatectomized rats. After a 1-hr treatment with 36S]captan, the nuclei were fractionated into nuclear sap protein, deoxyribonucleoprotein (including histones), acidic ribonucleoprotein, and “residual” protein fractions. These proteins in normal nuclei bound 10, 14, 39, and 16% of the total label, respectively, with essentially the same results obtained with nuclei from regenerating rat liver. When compared by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, acidic nuclear proteins from treated and nontreated normal nuclei were characterized by band diffusion and the presence or absence of Amido Schwartz-staining bands. None of the abovementioned effects on histones from treated nuclei were observed. Captan treatment of isolated nuclei also altered the extraction characteristics of the nuclear protein fractions, presumably because of extensive aggregation of thiol-containing nuclear proteins. |
