Previous studies have shown that ethylhexanol (2-EH) and its oxidation products, but not n-hexanol, produce hepatomegaly, peroxisomal proliferation and hypotriglyceridaemia. In the present studies we have confirmed that at 1 mmol/kg doses, neither the linear nor branched chain alcohols induce
Organotypic tissue cultures, composed of structurally and functionally coupled explants of mouse spinal cord, dorsal root ganglia, and striated muscle, have been used to create a model of the distal (dying-back) axonopathy found in animals and humans with aliphatic hexacarbon neuropathy. Mature
The olfactory system can be a toxicological target of volatile organic compounds present in indoor air. Recently, 2-ethyl-1-hexanol (2E1H) emitted from adhesives and carpeting materials has been postulated to cause "sick building syndrome." Patients' symptoms are associated with an increased sense
Rats were intermittently exposed (9 to 10 h/d, 5 to 6 d/week) to controlled concentrations of single analytical grad solvents in ambient air. After periods ranging from 7 to 30 weeks the animals were perfused with glutaraldehyde and samples of nerves were processed for light microscopy of sections
Several users of a newly built school building in a university (new building) complained about their deteriorating physical health. We measured the air quality in the new building, an old school building and atmosphere in September 2007 and February 2008. We also conducted a questionnaire survey of
The purpose of the present investigation was to determine hygienic relevance of microbial degradation of polymers in an enclosed environment. Experiments were carried out to study the growth and development of microorganisms--molds and bacteria--on polymers. It was found that the process may be
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and water play a key role in evaluating the quality of aquatic products. Quality deterioration of aquatic products can produce some off-odour volatiles and can induce water content changes. However, no previous study has investigated a correlation between water
Volatile compounds in packed and unpacked commercial tofu were extracted by solid phase microextraction fibers and analyzed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The tofu samples were stored at 4 °C for 15 days to measure freshness and quality changes during storage. Totals of 41 and 35 volatile
Ochratoxin A (OTA) is one of the most abundant mycotoxin contaminants in food stuffs and possesses carcinogenic, nephrotoxic, teratogenic, and immunotoxic properties. Specifically, a major concern is severe nephrotoxicity, which is characterized by degeneration of epithelial cells of the proximal
