Oral administration of diethyldithiocarbamate (DTC) and carbon disulfide (CS2) protected mice against CHCl3-induced kidney injury, as evidenced by normalization of delayed plasma phenolsulfonphthalein clearance, suppression of increased kidney calcium content and prevention of renal tubular
Catecholamine-induced myocardial necrosis is enhanced in carbon disulfide exposed rats. We investigated whether the reported morphological findings after carbon disulfide exposure are accompanied by functional disturbances of the adrenergic inotropic response as well as by biochemical alterations.
When administered acutely to male Sprague-Dawley rats, carbon disulfide (CS2, 5 mmole/kg ip) caused centrilobular hepatic hydropic degeneration or necrosis. Pretreatment with phenobarbital was a requirement for hepatotoxicity and treatment with SKF 525-A, an inhibitor of microsomal CS2 metabolism,
In male mice of ddY strain, a single dose of 1,1-dichloroethylene (1,1-DCE, 0.1 ml/kg, ip) produced severe renal damage at 24 hr, as evidenced by elevations in plasma urea nitrogen concentration and kidney calcium content and by massive renal tubular necrosis, while hepatic damage was less severe. A
This work has shown that CS2 promptly inhibits the liver ER calcium pump only in those animals that subsequently develop hepatic necrosis. In this respect, inhibition of the ER calcium pump by CS2 resembles the actions of chlorinated hydrocarbon hepatotoxins. This lends further support to the
In mice depleted of glutathione (GSH) by pretreatment with an inhibitor of GSH synthesis, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO; 1 hr before styrene, 2 mmol/kg or higher doses, ip), styrene (0.96-5.76 mmol/kg, po) produced hepatotoxicity characterized by an increase in serum alanine transaminase activity and
Eugenol is widely used as a food flavoring agent and a dental analgesic. Mice treated with eugenol (400-600 mg/kg, po) in combination with an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, buthionine sulfoximine (BSO; 1 hr before eugenol, 4 mmol/kg, ip) developed hepatotoxicity characterized by increases
Intraperitoneal injection of R-(+)-pulegone (pulegone), the main constituent of pennyroyal oil, to ddY mice caused extensive liver injury as characterized by an increase in serum glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) activity and centrilobular necrosis of hepatocytes. Treatments of mice with the
Butylated hydroxytoluene (2,6-di-tert-butyl-4-methylphenol, BHT) has been reported to be a lung toxicant. Mice treated with BHT (200-800 mg/kg, po) in combination with an inhibitor of glutathione (GSH) synthesis, buthionine sulfoximine (BOS; 1 hr before and 2 hr after BHT, 4 mmol/kg per dose, ip)
