[Dimethylnitrosamine hepatic cirrhosis in the rat (author's transl)].

Chronic intoxication with dimethylnitrosamine (D.M.N.A.) in the rat induced an experimental cirrhosis which seems stable in time. The intoxication was done by forcible feeding either with 7 or 8 mg/kg of D.M.N.A., three consecutive days a week, for 9 weeks. Chronical intoxication resulted in 50% of hepatic cirrhosis in the 7 mg/kg group and 63% in the 8 mg/kg group. --The diagnostic of hepatic cirrhosis was done by pathological study on the left lobe. --In all cirrhotic rats, verified by histology, biological test were disturbed in a significant way, compared to untreated rats, but not to non cirrhotic intoxicated rats. There was no correlation between pathological anatomy and biology. --Cirrhosis persists after the intoxication but survival duration is much shorter in the group intoxicated with 8 mg/kg of D.M.N.A. --There was no difference in the constitution of cirrhosis between Wistar and Sprague Dawley strains. Therefore the best procedure to induce cirrhosis in rats is chronical intoxication by administration of 7 mg/kg of D.M.N.A. during 3 consecutive days a week for 9 weeks. Pathological study are the only reliable tests to determine the constitution of cirrhosis.

Comparative study of two models for experimental cirrhosis in the dog.

Two canine models of cirrhosis induced by administration of dimethyl-nitrosamine (DMNA) alone or in combination with hepatic vein ligation, were studied. The criteria used for development of cirrhosis were not only the appearance of portal hypertension, ascites, biochemical disorders or retention of BSP but also the formation of histological lesions such as sclerotic transformation of the liver lobules together with nodular regeneration. According to these criteria, the experimental protocol consisting in hepatic vein ligation and prolonged administration of DMNA was successful in inducing in animals liver cirrhosis similar to human conditions.
