title: Effect of N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide on the histological pattern and incidence of kidney tumors induced by streptozotocin rats.
abstract: The effect of the nephrotoxic substance, N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide, on the histological pattern and incidence of kidney tumors induced by streptozotocin in rats was studied. In groups administered streptozotocin alone or in combination with nicotinamide, the histological pattern and the incidence of kidney tumors in rats were similar; renal cell tumors developed in 1 of 9 rats (11.1%) and in 2 of 17 rats (11.8%), respectively. However, post-treatment with N-(3,5-dichlorophenyl)succinimide increased the induction of epithelial tumors by streptozotocin, and embryonal cell tumors were also induced nearly as frequently. Administration of nicotinamide alone did not result in the development of kidney tumors.
