The Effect of N-Nitrosodimethylamine on Enzyme Activities and Histology in the Mouse

This thesis studied the effects of acute, sub-chronic and chronic exposures of NDMA on the enzyme activities of five tumour markers namely: glutathione Stransferase (GST), gamma glutamyl transpeptidase (y-GT), glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), glutathione reductase (GSH-R) and uridyl diphosphogluc...

Chronic group (n= 12) were injected with 0.05 mg/kg b.w. of NDMA given four times over a period of four month. The mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation after treatment.
