摘要
CBA/Ca male mice were given 3′‐azido‐3′‐deoxythymidine (AZT) in drinking water (1 mg/ml) for up to 7 weeks. Water consumption and body weight decreased significantly. Neutropenia and lymphopenia were observed during and after exposure. Significant macrocytic anemia developed and disappeared as a function of red cell life span after stopping AZT intake. A microthrombocytosis was seen. Bone marrow cellularity and spleen colony‐forming unit (CFU‐s) content fell, but recovered completely and quickly after terminating AZT intake. Hemopoietic stem cell function measured by 2 different methods of rescuing fatally irradiated mice was normal 4 weeks after AZT exposure, suggesting that AZT treatment does not induce a long‐lasting effect in genetic control of mitotic potential of stem cells. This is in marked contrast to exposure of CBA/Ca mice to benzene and ionizing radiation. Copyright © 1990 AlphaMed Press
