title: Carbon tetrachloride induced polysome breakdown. Relative importance of lipid peroxidation and of binding to ribosomal components in the process.
abstract: In vivo, CC1-4 causes an intense polysome breakdown; CHC1-3 effect is much less intense and CH2C1-2 effect is negligible. Previous administration of either diphenyl-p-phenyelnediamine or alpha-tocopherol to the rats does not prevent CC1-4-induced polysome breakdown. Promethazine and cystamine were able to prevent to a good extent the CC1-4 induced polysome breakdown process. 14CC1-4 irreversibly binds to ribosomal proteins but not to ribosomal RNA. Several hepatocarcinogens which are effective alkylating agents and cause in vivo polysome breakdown do not induce a lipid peroxidation process.
