Cytogenetic Activity of Certain Chemicals in Adrenalectomized Rats

Barilyak I. R., Saglo V. I.

SUMMARY. Pyrimethamine, sodium salicylate or ethanol were administered to adrenalectomized rats 3 and 21 days after the operation. It is shown that cytogenetic effect in the operated rats is less pronounced, particularly 3 weeks after the operation. Adrenalin (0.2 mg/kg) increases the effect of chemicals on the chromosome apparatus, while hydrocortisone (50 mg/kg) and corticotropin (10 U/kg) decrease it.
