title: Influence of adrenalectomy and sex on the binding of 3-methylcholanthrene to cytosol macromolecules of rat liver.
abstract: The retention of 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) in rat hepatic cytosol was significantly enhanced by adrenalectomy. In contrast, there was no significant difference in 3-MC retention in females as compared with males. 3-MC present in the cytosol fraction was bound to macromolecules and could be separated into three fractions by ion-exchange column chromatography.
