Long term neurotoxicity of styrene. A quantitative study of glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFA) and S-100.
Little information exists about the possible neurotoxicity of styrene. The present study was designed to explore whether long term inhalation exposure (three months) to styrene (90 and 320 ppm) could induce long lasting astroglial alterations in Sprague Dawley rats, traceable four months after exposure ceased. Styrene exposure at 320 ppm induced such alterations as shown by raised concentration...
متن کاملThe application of glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein immunohistochemistry in neurooncology. A progress report.
Glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein, a protein originally isolated from fibrous neuroglia (Eng et aI., 1971) and subsequently localized by specific immunofluorescence to fibrillary astrocytes (Bignami et ai, 1972; Bignami and Dahl, 1974; Uyeda et aI., 1972), is currently being used as an antigenic marker for the investigation of normal, developing and pathologically altered supporting cells o...
متن کاملDetermination of S-100 and glial fibrillary acidic protein concentrations in cerebrospinal fluid after brain infarction.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We initiated the present study to evaluate the clinical value of consecutive concentration determinations of S-100 and glial fibrillary acidic proteins in cerebrospinal fluid from patients with brain infarction. METHODS We took sequential samples of cerebrospinal fluid from 28 patients within 48 hours, at 7 days, and at 18-21 days after the ictus. We measured astroglial...
متن کاملGlial fibrillary acidic protein and related glial proteins as biomarkers of neurotoxicity.
A variety of '-omic' technologies are being increasingly applied in preclinical safety assessments. Such approaches, however, have not been implemented in neurotoxicity safety evaluations. Current regulatory guidelines for assessing neurotoxicity emphasise reliance on traditional histopathological stains and behavioural testing batteries. Although these methods may be sufficient to detect some ...
متن کاملGlial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein-containing cells in the human pineal gland.
The development of human pineal astrocytes was studied in a prospective autopsy series of 115 cases with an age range of 24 weeks of gestation to 91 years. Pineal glands selected from cases with postmortem intervals of one to 24 hours were fixed in Bouin's fluid and immunostained using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase technique and an antiserum against human glial fibrillary acidic (GFA) protein. ...
