The ultrastructural and erythrokinetic characteristics of vitamin E deficiency in swine were investigated in an effort to evaluate the suitability of the swine disorder as a model of the human congenital dyserythropoietic anemias. The dominant erythrokinetic abnormality in vitamin E deficient pigs,
Smilax aristolochiaefolia (Liliaceae) has been used in Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of tumors, leprosy, anemia and as a tonic for skin infections and anemia. Aplastic anemia (AA) was induced in CD1 mice 8-12 weeks old distributed 10 animals each in Groups VSC, AA, AASa and AAr.
No important differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit values occurred among subgroups of a cohort of 295 healthy, mature infants who were fed various dietry regimens of iron-fortified products, including cereal, whole milk, and corn syrup. Among all infants between the ages of 4 and 27 months, the
Five infants, age 1 to 7 months, were given a formula of barley water, whole milk, and corn syrup (Karo) or honey. Three patients had subnormal growth, two fit the criteria for failure to thrive, and two demonstrated a microcytic hypochromic anemia. The delayed growth and anemia were corrected by
The application of alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) as an alternative vehicle for water insoluble and volatile chemicals was investigated in toxicity studies of p-chloro-alpha, alpha, alpha-trifluorotoluene (CTFT). Groups of F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex were administered CTFT (97% pure) by
p-Chloro-alpha,alpha,alpha trifluorotoluene (CTFT) is a volatile, aromatic liquid used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of dinitroaniline herbicides. To evaluate the toxicity of CTFT, groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex were administered CTFT by gavage once a day for 14
Certain owl monkeys (AOT) develop spontaneous hemolytic anemia that responds to vitamin E. The anemia is associated with red blood cell lipid peroxidation and altered red blood cell membrane lipid composition. To investigate these changes, plasma lipid and lipoprotein profiles were characterized in
4-Chloro-3-nitroaniline was given to groups of 20 male and 20 female rats by gavage at doses of 3.6, 18, or 90 mg/kg in a 10% corn oil suspension. Doses were administered 5 days per week for 90 days. The high dose resulted in reduced body weight gain in males, reduced feed consumption and
We studied the hematological effects of single and repeated exposure to 1,3,5-trinitrobenzene (TNB) in rats. Male F-344 rats were gavaged with TNB at 35.5 and 71 mg/kg in corn oil. Blood was collected 5 h and 24 h after a single oral dose or 24 h after daily oral doses for 4 or 10 d in four
The marmoset, a small non-human primate, has rarely been used in toxicological studies. A short-term toxicity study was performed on common marmosets (BW = 330 +/- 32 g). Fifteen male marmosets received oral administration of DAB at a dose level of 56 mg/kg/day and 4 control animals received corn
The short-term oral toxicity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (alpha-TNT) was determined in dogs, rats, and mice. Single-dose oral LD50s for alpha-TNT in corn oil were 1320 and 794 mg/kg in male and female rats, respectively, and 660 mg/kg in both male and female mice. For multiple-dose studies, dogs were
Rats fed a vitamin E-deficient diet containing 10% "stripped" corn oil had reduced growth rate and elevated platelet count by 12 weeks of age, and a normocytic anemia with elevated reticulocytes by 16 weeks of age. After 5 months, rats became emaciated and developed kyphoscoliosis. Some rats
CD-1 mice were given oral doses of 0-16 ml/kg/day for five days of Prudhoe Bay (PBCO), South Louisiana and Arabian Light crude oils, Bunker C oil (BCO), mineral oil (MO) and corn oil. Minor decreases in packed cell volume and increases in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration occurred after
Rations containing 25% of either regular rapeseed oil (36% erucic acid), Oro rapeseed oil (1.9% erucic acid), soybean oil or a mixture of lard and corn oil were fed to chickens, ducks and turkeys. The regular rapeseed oil ration caused growth depression, increased feed conversion and anemia in all
Dose levels for these studies were selected mainly on the basis of subchronic studies, although consideration was also given to workplace exposure levels and proposed mechanism of tumor formation with structurally similar compounds. For the chronic study, groups of 60 male and 60 female
