1. Relationships between ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) and adenosine diphosphate ribosyl transferase (ADPRT) in human mononuclear leukocytes (HML) were tested by statistical comparisons of their values in a group of 46 people, and by use of inhibitors of ADPRT. 2. ODC was assayed following exposure of HML, for 20 hr, to mitogens [phytohemagglutinin (PHA) and pokeweed mitogen]; ADPRT was measured following exposure of HML to H2O2 (100 microM) for 1 hr (activated ADPRT), and in parallel cultures without H2O2 (constitutive ADPRT). 3. Significant correlations were found between ODC and ADPRT values; the effects of smoking disturbed the correlations. PHA induction of ODC was negatively influenced by age (standardized beta coefficient = -2.95, P = 0.005), while age also influenced ADPRT values negatively in non-smokers (for H2O2 activated ADPRT, standardized beta coefficient = -2.74, P less than 0.008). 4. Inhibitors of ADPRT, nicotinamide, caffeine and benzamide inhibited the induction of ODC by PHA in a concentration-dependent manner, in the range (0.6-10 mM) known to inhibit ADPRT.
