[Modifications of liver content of cyclic nucleotides in the rat poisoned with white phosphorus].
In rat liver following white phorphorus poisoning a biphasic increase in cyclic AMP concentration was observed. After a lag period of 1 hour the cyclic AMP content rose to a first peak at 4 hours and to a second peak at 12 hours of intoxication. The cyclic AMP level fell to normal after 24 hours, by which time the cyclic nucleotide concentration was approaching control values. On the contrary, cyclic GMP content was found to the normal level during the different stages of intoxication. Only at 36 hours the cyclic GMP amount appeared significantly increased above the control values. Serum activity of alanine- and aspartate-amino transferases was found changed from 8 hours to 24 hours after poisoning. The serum level of the two enzymes was overlapping the control values after 36 hours. These results are discussed in relation to hepatocyte necrosis following white phosphorus intoxication.
