o phenylphenol/neoplasms

An investigation of changes in urine composition, morphology of bladder epithelium, and levels of DNA synthesis following 4 or 8 weeks oral administration of bladder tumor promoters or analogs without promotion potential was performed. The sodium salts of L-ascorbate, o-phenylphenate, and

The generation of 8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8OHdG) in calf thymus DNA treated with O-phenylphenol (OPP) or its major metabolites, phenylhydroquinone (PHQ) and phenylbenzoquinone (PBQ), was studied. The content of 8OHdG residues was increased in DNA treated with PHQ, and the generation of 8OHdG was

o-Phenylphenol (OPP) and its sodium salt sodium ortho-phenylphenate (NaOPP) are broad spectrum fungicides and antibacterial agents. Both are urinary bladder and renal carcinogens in the Fischer 344 rat. OPP is converted by mixed-function oxidases in the liver to phenylhydroquinone (PHQ). Since

o-Phenylphenol (OPP) is a widely used fungicide and antibacterial agent that at high doses has been shown to cause bladder cancer in male F344 rats. The mechanisms underlying OPP-induced bladder carcinogenicity remain unclear but it has been proposed that a non-enzymatic pH-dependent autoxidation of

o-Phenylphenol (OPP), a widely used fungicide and antibacterial agent, has been considered to be among the top 10 home and garden pesticides used in the USA. Earlier studies have consistently shown that the sodium salt of OPP (SOPP) causes bladder cancer in male Fischer 344 (F344) rats, whereas OPP

Sodium o-phenylphenate (OPP-Na) was applied at a dose level of 5.0 mg/animal dermally to the fur-clipped dorsal area of female CD-1 mice twice weekly for 47 weeks after applications of 10 micrograms of 7,12-dimethylbenz[a]anthracene (DMBA) as an initiator twice weekly for 5 weeks. A total of 25 skin

For the last 40 y, substantial evidence has surfaced on the hormone-like effects of environmental chemicals such as pesticides and industrial chemicals in wildlife and humans. The endocrine and reproductive effects of these chemicals are believed to be due to their ability to: (1) mimic the effect
