Chronic effects of norharman in rats treated with aniline.
The carcinogenic effects of aniline and norharman given alone or in combination were examined in rats. Neoplastic changes including hyperplastic changes of the urinary bladder were not found in all groups. Papillomas of forestomach were observed in 5 rats out of 110 rats. However, this was not significantly different among the groups. Pyelonephritis or chronic nephritis were also seen in all groups. Hematological and blood biochemical analysis did not show any notable difference in the animals treated with aniline and/or norharman.
