The effect of thioacetamide on dividing cells of regenerating rat liver has been studied. Rats were given daily subcutaneous injections of thioacetamide as a 1 per cent solution at a dosage of 5 mg./100 gm. body weight for 7 to 10 days, subjected to partial hepatectomy, and sacrificed 28 to 31 hours later. Thioacetamide treatment results in striking increases in the nuclear ribonucleoproteins o...
