    Abstract

    Pretreatment of rats with aminoacetonitrile inhibited the metabolism of [14C]1,2-dimethylhydrazine to 14CO2 and increased the expiration of [14C]-azomethane. Alkylation of nucleic acids following administration of 1,2-dimethylhydrazine was reduced by aminoacetonitrile to 5% of control levels in liver, 11% of control levels in kidney and 43% of control levels in colon.
