An experiment was conducted to determine if any changes resulted in the proportion of hepatic messenger RNA following treatment with ethionine, a hepatocarcinogen. The relative specific activity of the total RNA isolated from nontumor-like tissues was increased in Sprague-Dawley rats fed ethionine. However, the percentage of total RNA that was message was found to be decreased in the ethionine-treated rats.
