Abstract:
:Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at concentrations of 300-6000 ppm in the diet caused a dose-dependent increase in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase (GGT) activity in normal F344 male rat liver at 18 weeks. However, the activities of glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) of rat liver cytosol were enhanced only at concentrations of 3000 or 6000 ppm BHT. Histochemically, the enhanced GGT activity was localized to hepatocytes surrounding the portal areas. Autoradiographic measurements of DNA synthesis showed that dietary BHT did not increase the level of cell proliferation and the GGT-positive hepatocytes did not exhibit different rates of DNA synthesis from those of GGT-negative cells. Feeding of the liver carcinogen N-2-fluorenylacetamide (FAA) induced foci and nodules of GGT-positive altered cells which exhibited higher rates of DNA synthesis than those of surrounding GGT-negative hepatocytes. Following iron loading, the periportal GGT-positive hepatocytes produced by BHT accumulated cellular iron, whereas the cells in FAA-induced lesions excluded iron. These results suggest that dietary BHT induces GGT activity in periportal hepatocytes without proliferation of the cells and that induction does not represent fetal expression or a preneoplastic alteration.
