Abstract

In previous papers we have observed that the proliferative activity of numerous cell populations of suckling and young mice was different than the observed in adults. In the present work we analized the DNA synthesis of suckling and adult mice, by immunohistochemistry (Bromodioxiuridine) in both hepatocytes and renocytes, at two different time points. The object of the present experiment was to establish the correlation in cellular proliferation between both groups. We used C3HS suckling male mice of 21 days old and adult mice of 90 days old. The results showed that DNA synthesis of renocytes and hepatocytes in suckling mice were significantly higher than the adults, and we didn´t find statistically differences between the values of both analysed time points. We can conclude that in suckling mice we could observe maximum and minimum values but we coudn´t find a circadian rhythm like those established in adults.

Keywords: DNA synthesis, liver, kidney, mice, bromodeoxiuridine.
