Effects of corn oil and benzyl acetate on number and size of azaserine-induced foci in the pancreas of LEW and F344 rats.

Only registered users can translate articles

The response of LEW and F344 strain rats to the pancreatic carcinogen azaserine was compared using the size and number of azaserine-induced acidophilic acinar cell foci and nodules as parameters in a 4-month experiment. A second experiment compared the effect of corn oil intake by gavage and dietary

Benzyl acetate carcinogenicity, metabolism, and disposition in Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Carcinogenesis studies of benzyl acetate (a fragrance and flavoring agent) were conducted in F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. The chemical was given in corn oil by gavage once daily, 5 days/week for 103 weeks, to groups of 50 animals of each sex and species. For rats the doses were 0, 250, and 500 mg/kg

NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies of Benzyl Acetate (CAS No. 140-11-4) in F344/N Rats and B6C3F1 Mice (Gavage Studies).

Only registered users can translate articles

Benzyl acetate, a water-white liquid with a pear-like odor, is a natural constituent of several essential oils and flower absolutes extracted from jasmine, hyacinth, gardenia, tuberose, ylang-ylang, cananga, and neroli. Commercial benzyl acetate, a liquid prepared synthetically from benzyl chloride,

NTP Toxicology and Carcinogenesis Studies of Benzyl Acetate (CAS No. 140-11-4) in F344/N Rats and B6C3F1 Mice Feed Studies).

Only registered users can translate articles

Benzyl acetate is used as a flavoring agent in foods, as a fragrance in soaps and perfumes, as a solvent for cellulose acetate and nitrate, and as a component of printing inks and varnish removers. The NTP previously studied the toxicology and carcinogenicity of this chemical in F344/N rats and

Evaluation of promotion of pancreatic carcinogenesis in rats by benzyl acetate.

Only registered users can translate articles

Benzyl acetate was found to induce liver tumours and gastric squamous neoplasms in mice in a chronic bioassay conducted through the National Toxicology Program. An increased incidence of acinar cell adenomas of the pancreas of F344 rats was noted in the bioassay, but the significance of these

Effects of gavage versus dosed feed administration on the toxicokinetics of benzyl acetate in rats and mice.

Only registered users can translate articles

Effects of gavage versus dosed feed administration on the toxicokinetics of benzyl acetate were studied in male F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. Benzyl acetate was rapidly hydrolysed to benzyl alcohol and then oxidized to benzoic acid. After gavage administration of benzyl acetate in corn oil at 500 mg/kg

Studies on benzyl acetate. I. Effect of dose size and vehicle on the plasma pharmacokinetics and metabolism of [methylene-14C]benzyl acetate in the rat.

Only registered users can translate articles

Male Fischer 344 rats received [methylene-14C]benzyl acetate by gavage in a dose of 5,250 or 500 mg/kg, as the neat substance, in corn oil or in propylene glycol. Urine and faeces were collected and urinary metabolites were assayed by radio-TLC and HPLC. Other animals were killed at various times

Fusarium infection in maize: volatile induction of infected and neighboring uninfected plants has the potential to attract a pest cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus.

Only registered users can translate articles

Fusarium infection of maize leaves and/or roots through the soil can stimulate the emission of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). It is also well known that VOC emission from maize plants can repel or attract pests. In our experiments, we studied VOC induction responses of Zea mays L. ssp. mays cv.

Behavioral responses of the leafhopper, Cicadulina storeyi China, a major vector of maize streak virus, to volatile cues from intact and leafhopper-damaged maize.

Only registered users can translate articles

The chemical ecology of the leafhopper, Cicadulina storeyi China (Homoptera: Cicadellidae), an important vector of Maize Streak Virus (MSV), was studied with a view to developing novel leafhopper control strategies in sub-Saharan Africa. Choice tests using a Y-tube olfactometer revealed that odors

Fighting on two fronts: Elevated insect resistance in flooded maize.

Only registered users can translate articles

To grow and thrive plants must be able to adapt to both adverse environmental conditions and attack by a variety of pests. Elucidating the sophisticated mechanisms plants have developed to achieve this has been the focus of many studies. What is less well understood is how plants respond when faced
