The major use of 1,2-dichlorobenzene is as an intermediate in the synthesis of several organic compounds (e.g. 3,4-dichloroaniline) and in the syntheses of the herbicides propanil, diuron, and neburon. It is used as an industrial solvent for toluene diisocyanate, an additive to degreasing agents, a
This study examined the contribution of biotransformation by the mixed function oxidase system on hepatic and renal toxicity of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB). Male Fischer 344 (F344) rats (190-250 g) were pretreated with phenobarbital (PB), beta-naphthoflavone (BNF), pyridine (PYR), piperonyl
p-Dichlorobenzene (PDCB) has been reported to produce tumors in the male and female mouse liver and in the male rat kidney in 2-year gavage studies (NPT, 1987). To elucidate the possible mechanisms of carcinogenicity more fully, UDS and RDS were evaluated in B6C3F1 mouse hepatocytes and F-344 rat
1,2-Dichlorobenzene (1,2-DCB) is a potent hepatotoxicant in male Fischer 344 (F344) rats and previous studies have suggested that reactive oxygen species may play a role in the development of hepatotoxicity. Since reactive oxygen species can damage lipid membranes, this study was conducted to
Previous research showed that acute exposure to dichloromethane (DCM) produced a selective reduction in peak N30 of flash evoked potentials (FEPs) in rats. In contrast, acute exposures to p-xylene or toluene selectively reduced FEP peak N160. The present experiments compared the effects of DCM (log
Male and female Sprague-Dawley rats received 1,3-dichlorobenzene daily by corn oil gavage for 10 or 90 consecutive days. The 10-day study doses were 0, 37, 147, 368 and 735 mg/kg; the 90-day study doses were 0, 9, 37, 147 and 588 mg/kg. In the 10-day study, there was a significant depression of body
Studies were conducted to examine acute hepatic and renal toxicity of dichlorobenzene (DCB) structural isomers. Male Fischer 344 (F344) rats were injected with 2, 3 or 4 mmol kg-1 of 1,2-DCB, 1,3-DCB or 1,4-DCB (o-, m-, p-). Pair-fed control (PFC) animals were injected (i.p.) with corn oil (1 ml
In order to clarify the etiology of a dose-related increase in the incidence of tubular cell adenocarcinomas of the kidney in male rats, the nephrotoxicity of p-dichlorobenzene (p-DCB) was investigated in a subchronic study. Groups of ten male and ten female Fischer 344 rats were dosed by gavage
1,4-Dichlorobenzene is commonly used as a space deodorant in toilets and for moth control. Because of its extensive production and use and the absence of carcinogenicity data, carcinogenesis studies were conducted by administering 1,4-dichlorobenzene (greater than 99% pure) in corn oil by gavage (5
The effects of 1,4-dichlorobenzene (DCB) have been compared in male F344 rats given 0 (corn oil control), 25, 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg DCB and male B6C3F1 mice given 0 (corn oil control), 300, and 600 mg/kg DCB by daily oral gavage five days per week for 1, 4, and 13 weeks. The two highest rat and
Ten- and ninety-day toxicity studies of 1,2-dichlorobenzene (DCB) were conducted in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats to meet the needs of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency for toxicity data on this chemical for use in their determination of possible health risks related to human exposure.
A 7-day-exposure time experiment was designed to investigate the phytotoxicity of chlorobenzenes (CBs) on Zea mays seedlings, focusing on the growth and generation of oxidative stress. Significant growth inhibition (based on biomass gain) was observed for exposure to monochlorobenzene (MCB),
BACKGROUND
Para-dichlorobenzene (PDCB) is an aromatic hydrocarbon contained in mothballs that is potentially neurotoxic. A potential pathogenic role of PDCB in MS pathogenesis has been suggested.
METHODS
To determine the ability of chronic PDCB ingestion to induce CNS autoimmunity in a genetically
The NCI-Black-Reiter (NBR) rat is the only strain of male rat known not to synthesize the hepatic form of the low molecular weight protein, alpha 2u-globulin. In previous studies, NBR rats were shown not to develop renal disease when exposed to decalin, a compound known to induce alpha 2u-globulin
Two different markers for quantitating cell proliferation were evaluated in livers of control and chemically treated mice and rats. Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), an endogenous cell replication marker, and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), an exogenously administered DNA precursor label, were
