Maternal-Fetal Disposition and Metabolism of Retrorsine in Pregnant Rats.
Pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) are extensively synthesized by plants, are commonly present in herbs and foodstuffs, and exhibit hepatotoxicity requiring metabolic activation by cytochrome P450 3A to form the electrophilic metabolites-pyrrolic esters. PAs also cause embryo toxicity, but the metabolic profiles of PAs in fetus and placenta have been far from clear. In this study, we determined the ...
متن کاملDistribution of polybrominated biphenyls after dietary exposure in pregnant and lactating rats and their offspring.
Female rats were fed PBBs in the diet (50 ppm) from day 8 of gestation to day 21 of gestation, from day 1 postpartum to day 14 postpartum or from day 8 of gestation through day 14 postpartum. Levels of PBBs were measured in various tissues. Small concentrations of PBBs (less than 5 microgram/g) were found in the brain, heart, lung, liver, small intestine, placenta, and gravid uterus. Larger con...
متن کاملEffect of Lead (Pb2+) Exposure in Female Pregnant Rats and Their Offspring on Spatial Learning and Memory in Morris Water Maze
Lead (Pb2+) is a well known neurotoxin that was frequently found in the environment and chronic exposure to lead has been matter of public health. In the present study the effect of lead on spatial memory in developmentally exposed rats and their dams in Morris water maze task were investigated. Female rats were divided into three groups and two groups exposed to 250 and 750 part per million (p...
متن کاملToxicokinetics and disposition of inorganic mercury and cadmium in channel catfish after intravascular administration.
To better understand the distribution and elimination of inorganic mercury (Hg) and cadmium (Cd) in fishes, channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) were administered either 6.4 micrograms/kg 203Hg as HgCl2 or 4.0 micrograms/kg 109Cd as CdCl2 via a dorsal aortic cannula. Blood, plasma, and red blood cells (RBCs) were serially sampled up to 156 (Hg) or 335 (Cd) days. The fraction of the injected do...
متن کاملDepletion of glutathione in the kidney and the renal disposition of administered inorganic mercury.
The primary aim of the present study was to evaluate the effects of different means of depleting glutathione (GSH) in the kidneys and liver on the renal and hepatic accumulation and disposition of a nontoxic dose of inorganic mercury. Renal and hepatic disposition of mercury were evaluated 1 hr after the intravenous administration of a 0.5 mumol/kg dose of mercuric chloride in control rats and ...
