Nucleolar activity after 3-methylcholanthrene treatment of rat liver cells studied by silver staining procedure
Abstract
The influence of a single dose of 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) was studied in nucleoli of young rat liver cells by means of conventional and ultracytochemical methods. The nucleolar activity was stimulated in our experimental conditions: the appearance of the fibrillar centres in the liver cell nucleoli as well as the silver staining protein content of the fibrillar centres and the dense fibrillar component were increased by 3-MC. The results suggest that the activity of ribosomal genes was increased following 3-MC treatment.
