Although the incidences were relatively low, hyperplasias of the renal pelvis and the urinary bladder have been observed in Fischer-344 (F-344) rats after both sodium aspartate and glycine treatments in long-term 2-yr bioassays. In the present study, the effects of these amino acids on development of N-butyl- N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine (BBN)-initiated urinary lesions were investigated in male and female F-344/DuCrj rats. F-344 rats of both sexes, 6 wk old at the commencement, were given 0.05% BBN for 4 wk and then treated with one of the amino acids at a level of 5.0% in the drinking water for the following 36 wk. Proliferative lesions in the renal pelvis often associated with necrosis and mineralization were increased in the group treated with BBN followed by sodium aspartate, but not by glycine, in both sexes. The same group demonstrated higher incidences of urinary bladder tumors with increased urinary pH and sodium concentration and decreased creatinine and uric acid, but not accompanying crystallization. These results showed a clear promoting effect of sodium aspartate for urinary carcinogenesis in rats. The mechanisms of the effect on the renal pelvis and urinary bladder might be different.
