title: Unscheduled DNA synthesis in rat liver after gastric administration of halothane.
abstract: Unscheduled DNA replication occurred in response to halothane administered to rats by stomach tube. This response was observed under a narrow range of experimental conditions that included pretreatment with phenobarbital and a short interval between barbiturate and anesthetic administration. Under the conditions of the experiment, hepatic necrosis was not demonstrable.
