Changes in the levels of urea cycle enzymes and polyamine metabolism in the liver of rats treated with alpha-naphthylisothiocyanate (ANIT), an inducer of experimental cholestasis, were studied. Activities of arginase increased approximately two-fold compared to the control values during the period of 24-72 hours after oral administration of ANIT (100 mg/kg), while activities of ornithine carbamyltransferase and ornithine aminotransferase decreased. The activity of ornithine decarboxylase was elevated by approximately 20- and 10-fold at 12 and 60 hours, respectively, after ANIT administration. Putrescine concentration doubled 24-48 hours after the ANIT administration, but spermidine level rose more slowly and reached the level of 1.5-fold of the control level in 36-72 hours. Spermine concentration decreased initially but increased in 96 hours. These results suggest that the increased activity of urea cycle accounts for the increase in the ornithine content and that the putrescine and spermidine acts as the initiator of recovery of the liver damaged by ANIT treatment.
