Abstract
Summary
Values for total nitrogen and total sulfur determined on the dry, fat-free liver tissue of rats following repeated exposure to carbon tetrachloride vapor were slightly higher than those of rats maintained on the same diet, but not exposed. The nitrogen to sulfur ratios of the two groups, however, were not statistically different. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to the general problem of the protection of the liver from toxic agents by sulfur-containing amino acids.
