    Abstract

    The metabolism of deoxycytidine-U-14C was studied in isolated perfused normal and regenerating rat liver, in perfused rat intestine and in isolated perfused mouse liver. A technique to perfuse mouse liver is described. Catabolism of dCyd is very slow in organs of the rat whereas it is rapid in those of the mouse. Nevertheless, incorporation into liver DNA does not differ markedly between the species. The quantitative aspects of dCyd metabolism in the isolated organs are discussed.
