Abstract
The peroxisome proliferators Wy-14,643, BR-931, nafenopin and ciprofibrate were tested in the primary hepatocyte culture-unscheduled DNA synthesis assay and in the Ames Salmonella microsome mutagenicity assay. The amount of unscheduled DNA synthesis (UDS) in hepatocytes was determined by quantifying the amount of [3H] thymidine incorporated into DNA in the presence of hydroxyurea after isolation of nuclei from hepatocytes treated with the test agent. Wy-14,643 and BR-931 induced unscheduled DNA synthesis in rat hepatocytes, whereas nafenopin and ciprofibrate had no effect. All of the peroxisome proliferators were negative in the Ames Salmonella assay.
