n-Hexane metabolism in occupationally exposed workers.
Lung uptake and excretion of n-hexane were studied in ten workers in a shoe factory. Simultaneous samples of inhaled and alveolar air were collected with the aid of a Rhan-Otis valve, personal samplers, and charcoal tubes. Alveolar excretion was monitored during a six hour postexposure period. Uptake was calculated from lung ventilation, the retention coefficient, and environmental concentratio...
متن کاملn-heptane and n-hexane enhance in a dose-dependent manner insulin binding to erythrocytes and its degradation.
«-heptane has been effectively used to prepare arteficial bilayer membranes. The viscoelastic and/or mechanical properties of the arteficial membranes vary with changes in the lipid/organic solvent ratio (Hianik et al. 1984). Also changes in cell membrane fluidity are known to correlate with the activities of certain membrane-bound enzymes (Yuli et al. 1981; Stubbs and Smith 1984). membrane rec...
متن کاملN-hexane neuropathy in offset printers.
In an offset printing factory with 56 workers, 20 (36%) developed symptomatic peripheral neuropathy due to exposure to n-hexane. Another 26 workers (46%) were found to have subclinical neuropathy. The initial change in the nerve conduction study was reduced amplitude of the sensory action potentials, followed by reduced amplitude of the motor action potentials, reduction in motor conduction vel...
متن کاملNeurotoxic effects of n-hexane on the human central nervous system: evoked potential abnormalities in n-hexane polyneuropathy.
An outbreak of n-hexane polyneuropathy as a result of industrial exposure occurred in printing factories in Taipei area from December 1983 to February 1985. Multimodality evoked potentials study was performed on 22 of the polyneuropathy cases, five of the subclinical cases, and seven of the unaffected workers. The absolute and interpeak latencies of patterned visual evoked potential (pVEP) in b...
متن کاملn-hexane neuropathy due to shoemaking: report of five cases
n-hexane neuropathy has been described after glue sniffing and industrial exposure. onset may be subacute and reminiscent of guillain-barre' syndrome. five patients (15-18 years old) presented with paresthesia, severe weakness of the extremities particularly lower extremities, as well as muscular atrophy, total areflexia and gait disturbances were admitted in hospital in march 2003. all of thes...
