Experimental studies on toxicity of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in Japan.
Past studies on the toxicological effects of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers as well as the recent data on these chemicals in Japan are reviewed. Only a few researchers have participated in the study of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in Japan. The effects of ethylene glycol alkyl ethers on testis and embryotoxic effects of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGM) have been studied, as has the teratoge...
متن کاملStudies on the nature of hemolytic effect induced by ethylene glycol alkyl ethers.
The nature of hemolytic effect induced by ethylene glycol alkyl ethers was analyzed taking into account G-6-PDH activity, ATP, pyruvate and thiols levels in peripheral blood of rats treated with single doses of 2-ethoxyethanol and 2-butoxyethanol. In addition, the susceptibility to autoxidation of rat erythrocyte lipids was evaluated. A decrease of ATP level in a dose-dependent manner and an in...
متن کاملHematological effects of exposure to mixtures of selected ethylene glycol alkyl ethers in rats.
Exposure to various ethylene glycol monoalkyl ethers (EGAEs) is known to result in hemolytic effect caused by their metabolites, appropriate alkoxyacetic acids, generated via both alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase. It has been shown in many studies that administration of single doses of EGAEs to rats lead to dose- and time-dependent hemolytic anemia. The repeated exposure to isop...
متن کاملTesticular toxicity produced by ethylene glycol monomethyl and monoethyl ethers in the rat.
Ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE) were administered orally to young male rats at doses varying from 50 to 500 mg/kg/day and 250 to 1000 mg/kg/day for EGME and EGEE, respectively, for 11 days. At sequential times animals were killed and testicular histology examined. The initial and major site of damage following EGME treatment was restricted to t...
متن کاملBehavioral teratology of ethylene glycol monomethyl and monoethyl ethers.
A recent addition to the field of teratology has been the inclusion of functional assessment techniques of offspring after prenatal exposure to exogenous agents. The present paper reviews the behavioral teratogenic effects of ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME, 2-methoxyethanol) and ethylene glycol monoethyl ether (EGEE, 2-ethoxyethanol). Groups of 15 pregnant Sprague-Dawley rats were expos...
