DL-Ethionine, an antagonist of Methionine, is toxic and a carcinogen [1]. DL-Ethionine could increase the cyclic AMP content and stimulate the malignant transformation of cells [2]. DL-Ethionine has been widely used to induce hepatocarcinogenesis in rats[3].
In vivo, Feeding a low-choline diet containing 0.5% DL-ethionine resulted in the development of acute hemorrhagic pancreatitis with peritoneal fat necrosis in female mice within five days[4]. DL-Ethionine treatment via intraperitoneal injections for 10 days of DL-Ethionine (0.7mg/g) caused degenerative changes in rat pancreatic acinar tissue, including a widening of the endoplasmic reticulum, a reduction in the number of membrane-bound ribosomes, and the appearance of fine and bulky vacuoles containing nongranular, disordered membranes[5]. C3H female mice given 150mg/kg DL-Ethionine by intubation three times a week for 30 weeks resulted in a significant increase in the incidence of liver tumors[6].

|
Animal models |
Male albino rats |
|
Preparation Method |
One hundred and fifty male albino rats, Wistar strain, weighing 160 to 180g, were given water ad libitum and kept in individual cages in an air-conditioned room at 68°F. One hundred and twenty-five of the rats were placed on a protein-free diet. Seventy-five of the rats on the protein-free diet received daily intraperitoneal injections for 10 days of DL-Ethionine (0.7mg/g) dissolved in aqueous 0.9 sodium chloride (ethionine group). Fifty mice were kept on the protein-free diet. After day 10, the mice of both the DL-Ethionine and protein-free groups were maintained on the protein-free diet through day 28. The status of pancreatic acinar tissues in rats injected with ethionine was analyzed. |

Applications |
DL-Ethionine treatment caused degenerative changes in rat pancreatic acinar tissue, including a widening of the endoplasmic reticulum, a reduction in the number of membrane-bound ribosomes, and the appearance of fine and bulky vacuoles containing nongranular, disordered membranes. |
