Benzoyl-L-arginine p-nitroanilide hydrolase in the etiolated leaves of Zea mays L. has been purified 1,266-fold by a combination of gel filtration, ion exchange, and hydrophobic chromatography with a recovery of 13%. The specific activity of the purified enzyme is 5.7 units/mg protein. The enzyme is
Previous results in male Sprague-Dawley rats indicate that acetone (A), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK) pretreatments (3 d, p.o.) at a dosage of 6.8 mmol/kg potentiate CCl4 hepatotoxicity. The potentiation potency profile observed was MiBK > A > MEK. In the present
Peroxidative damage to DNA initiated by methyl ethyl ketone peroxide, a potent initiator of lipid peroxidation, and protection against this damage by vitamin E were studied in rats. Groups of rats were fed a casein-based diet that contained 10% tocopherol-stripped corn oil and either 0, 3, 5, or 10
Methyl n-butyl ketone (MnBK), methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK), methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), and acetone are widely used industrial solvents to which certain groups of workers are exposed. Pharmacological and metabolic interactions between these solvents and ethanol were explored in male CD-1 mice. The
Chloroform (CHCl3)-induced hepato- and nephrotoxicity was evaluated in male, Fischer 344 rats pretreated with various dosages (1.0 to 15.0 mmol/kg, po) of acetone (Ac), 2-butanone (Bu), 2-pentanone (Pn), 2-hexanone (Hx), or 2-heptanone (Hp). The CHCl3 challenge dosage (0.5 ml/kg, ip) produced slight
While the biotransformation of methyl n-butyl ketone (MnBK) in animals is well characterized, little is known about the quantitative relationship between hepatic and plasma MnBK concentrations. This study provides such information and emphasizes the usefulness of MnBK metabolite quantification, as
One useful method to monitor in vivo lipid peroxidation is the measurement of volatile hydrocarbons, mainly pentane and ethane, that derive from unsaturated fatty acid hydroperoxides. Vitamin E, the biological antioxidant, inhibits lipid peroxidation and the production of pentane and ethane. The
Ketones can potentiate the hepatotoxicity of haloalkanes in animals. This may be due, in part, to changes in organelle susceptibility. Male Sprague-Dawley rats were administered 15 mmol/kg (po) acetone, 2-butanone, 2-hexanone or 50 mg/kg (po) chlordecone or mirex (a nonketonic analog of
Potential toxic interaction between hexachlorobenzene (HCB) and methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK) was investigated using two different schedules of toxicant administration. The first schedule involved simultaneous administration of HCB (50 mg/kg/d, p.o. in 10 ml/kg corn oil at 10.00 a.m. for 5 d/wk) and
Quantitative relationships between plasma, liver and lung methyl isobutyl ketone (MiBK) and methyl n-butyl ketone (MnBK) concentrations after oral or inhalation exposure were established. Their respective metabolites (4-methyl-2-pentanol, 4-hydroxy-methyl isobutyl ketone, 2-hexanol, and
Musk ketone (3,5-dinitro-2,6-dimethyl-4-tert-butyl-acetophenone) was evaluated in an in vivo mouse micronucleus assay. Male and female mice were dosed with 250, 500 or 1000 mg musk ketone/kg body weight by a single intraperitoneal injection in corn oil. Results of the assay showed that under the
Weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed diets for four weeks which differed in their content of n-6 (corn oil; CO) and n-3 fatty acids (fish oil; FO), but were similar in their content of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids and vitamin E. At the end of the four-week feeding period, each
The potential of medium chain triglyceride (MCT) and long chain triglyceride (LCT) as sources of plasma ketones was investigated in suckling rats. Initially high concentrations of plasma ketones in 6-, 10, and 17-day-old rats increased 2- to 3-fold after acute feeding of MCT. This feeding had the
MnBK and MiBK prolong the duration of ketamine-, pentobarbital-, thiopental- and ethanol-induced loss of righting reflex (LRR) in mice. In equimolar doses, (5 mmol/kg i.p.), both isomers were equipotent with respect to the enhancement of ketamine-, pentobarbital-, and thiopental-induced LRR.
Pseudopregnant and cyclic rats were injected for 5 to 26 days with daily doses of 5 and/or 3 mg of 5-bromo-2-thienyl-ethyl-ketone thiosemicarbazone (70026) starting on Day 0 (the day of oestrus). The vaginal smear cytology, record of ovulation and ability to breed and conceive were compared with the
