The present study was undertaken to explore the effect of the presence of hepatic tumors induced by diethylinitrosamine (DENA) on the metabolic heme pathway, and to assess whether these tumors can modify the response of rats to the porphyrinogenic drug hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and whether the above mentioned effects occur to a greater extent in females than males. The results obtained showed that: a) Females were more susceptible to the hepatocarcinogenicity of DENA than males. b) Female normal and DENA treated rats were more susceptible than male rats to the porphyrinogenicity of HCB. c) The presence of hepatic DENA induced tumors could diminish basal hepatic ferrochelatase activity. d) Hepatic tumors could modify the response of animals to a porphyrinogenic drug such as HCB. Thus, both female and male DENA/HBC rats accumulated more porphyrins and showed a lower delta-aminolevulinate synthase and uroporphyrinogen I synthase induction than HCB rats. e) The heme pathway was functional in DENA induced tumors in both male and female rats but they were little affected by HCB.
