Oral LD50 values for pentachlorobenzene (QCB) in rats were 1125, 1080, and 940 mg/kg for adult males, adult females, and weanling females, respectively. The oral LD50 values in mice were 1175 mg/kg for males and 1370 mg/kg for females. Clinical signs of toxicity included tremors and narcosis. Dermal

The alpha or Q0,0 absorption band of horse iron(II) cytochrome c splits and shifts to the blue as temperature decreases over the temperature range of 290-10 K. At room temperature, its maximum is at 18 150 cm-1 and the spectral width is 273 cm-1, whereas at 10 K, the two bands of the Q0,0 transition

The patient was a left handed 25-year-old man who had worked in a vinyl chloride resin factory since July 1987 using lead stearate as a stabilizer. During the two years preceding hospitalization, he had been admitted three times for colicky abdominal pain with constipation and nausea. Anemia and

Hereditary coproporphyria (Hepatic coproporphyria: HCP); HCP is the rarest and least recognized among hepatic porphyrias and is characterised by an excess of faecal and urinary excretion of coproporphyrin (mainly isomer III). The deficiency is in coproporphyrinogen oxidase. HCP was first described

In culture, Azorhizobium caulinodans used at least four terminal oxidases, cytochrome aa3 (cytaa3), cytd, cyto, and a second a-type cytochrome, which together mediated general, respiratory electron (e-) transport to O2. To genetically dissect physiological roles for these various terminal oxidases,

We report a patient with asymmetrical patchy weakness of the limbs, and with autoantibodies against gangliosides GM1, GD1b, asialo GM1. Although electrophysiological studies did not reveal conduction block, treatment with prednisolone resulted in clinical improvement. A 52-year-old man was admitted

An autopsy case of a 37-year-old woman with acute porphyria is reported. The patient began to complain of severe menstrual pains, and later developed serious peripheral neuropathy and various autonomic nervous symptoms. The autopsy revealed a marked loss and degeneration of axons and myelin sheaths

Urinary porphyrin profiles and liver histology have been investigated in a group of adult alcoholics with porphyria cutanea tarda (PCT) before and after one year phlebotomy. Both parameters were evaluated during the same period in a group of patients who did not undergo specific therapy for PCT. All

A feline erythropoietic porphyria was studied in an affected female Siamese cat and 2 male offspring. The principal elevated porphyrins were Type I isomers of uroporphyrin and coproporphyrin; the porphyrin precursors, porphobilinogen and sigma-aminolevulinic acid, were also detected. Porphyrins were

A quarter of patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria develop mild to severe cholestatic liver disease. The determination of early indicators of hepatobiliary involvement are of pivotal importance to select patients for choleretic therapy. Porphyrin parameters were studied during ursodeoxycholic
