Résumé

La dépression induite par l'uréthane sur la respiration des mitochondries a été mesurée en présence de la vitamin E (α-tocophérol). Ces agents furent utilisés in vitro et aussi injectés intrapéritonellement. Nos résultats montrent que l'apport de vitamine enraye la diminution de la respiration causée par l'uréthane. Ils attestent le rôle que joue l'uréthane dans la carcinogénèse et la necessité de poursuivre ces expériences sur une plus grande échelle.
