Styrene is an aromatic hydrocarbon compound present in the environment and have primary exposure through plastic industry. The current study was designed to evaluate styrene-induced toxicity parameters in rat plasma fasting blood glucose (FBG) level, oral glucose tolerance, insulin secretion,
Styrene-7,8-oxide (SO), the main intermediate metabolite of styrene, induces hyperkeratosis and tumors in the forestomach of rats and mice upon chronic administration by gavage. The aim of this study was to investigate whether DNA binding could be responsible for the carcinogenic effect observed.
We hypothesize that maternal metallothionein (MT) induction by toxic dosages of chemicals may contribute to or cause developmental toxicity by a chain of events leading to a transient but developmentally adverse decrease in Zn availability to the embryo. This hypothesis was tested by evaluating
The effects of various inducers and inhibitors of hepatic microsomal mixed-function oxidase (MFO) system and diethylmaleate treatment on styrene-induced acute nephrotoxicity in male Fischer-344 rats were studied. Groups of rats were pretreated with either 3-methylcholanthrene (15 mg/kg, i.p., 3
Styrene oxide (CAS: 96-09-3) was administered in corn oil by gavage three times a week at two dose levels to groups of 52 male and 52 female F344 rats and 52 male and 52 female B6C3F1 mice for 2 years, after which the surviving animals were killed and examined histopathologically. The doses given to
The nephrotoxic potential low non-toxic dose of styrene was studied in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Groups of rats received i.p. injections of styrene in corn oil at doses 0, 2.9, and 5.8 mmol/kg once daily, 5 days/week for 6 consecutive weeks. After collection of urine for 0-24 and 24-48 h following
To determine the effect of styrene on the male reproductive function of rats, male Wistar rats received a daily intraperitoneal (ip) injection of the xenobiotic at a dose of 600 mg/kg body weight. Serum testosterone (T) level was measured in duplicate by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Blood luteinizing
Administration of a single high dose of styrene (878 mg/kg ip in corn oil) to young male rats produced significant elevations in the activities of serum transaminases: 230, 209, and 71% increases in the activity of serum glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT) and 163, 437, and 227% in that of
A series of range-finding studies was conducted in a limited number of male F344 rats on the relation between cell proliferation and styrene oxide (SO) given as gavage doses in corn oil ranging from 550 to 1500 mg SO/kg. In each study, rats were injected with [3H]thymidine (0.50 mCi/g, ip) at
The aim of this study was to determine a possible risk of malignancies in the haematopoietic tissues of rats treated with styrene, either by injection or by inhalation. Two experiments were carried out: in the first (acute treatment), 12 male rats were treated intraperitoneally with different doses
Pre-fasted (16 h) Sprague-Dawley male rats were treated i.p. with 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8 and 1.2 g/kg of styrene in corn oil. Renal functions were assessed at 0-24, 24-48 and 48-72 h after the exposure. Urinary creatinine was decreased at 0.8 g/kg of styrene during 0-24 h after the treatment compared to
A new cell was evaluated for studying the migration of components of plastic food packaging materials into various food simulating solvents. Data obtained using this cell to study the migration of styrene from polystyrene at 40 and 70 degrees C are presented. Food simulating solvents tested were:
Soil pollution by arsenic increases the potential risk of arsenic entrance into the food chain. The usefulness of maleic anhydride- styrene- acrylic acid copolymer on the mobility and phytoavailability of arsenic was evaluated. Treatments were the concentrations of acrylic copolymer (0, 0.05, 0.10,
Styrene-acrylonitrile trimer (SAN Trimer), a mixture of six isomers (four isomers of 4-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-alpha-methyl-1-naphthaleneacetonitrile [THAN] and two isomers of 4-cyano-1,2,3,4-tetrahydro-1-naphthaleneproprionitrile [THNP]), is a by-product of a specific production process of
A bioassay of a solution of 30 percent b-nitrostyrene and 70 percent styrene for possible carcinogenicity was conducted using Fischer 344 rats and B6C3F1 mice. The solution of the two test materials in corn oil was administered by gavage, at either of two dosages, to groups of 50 male and 50 female
