Toxicological Profile for Acetone

ADDENDUM TO THE TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE FOR ACETONE Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry Division of Toxicology and Environmental Medicine

Toxicological profile of deltamethrin in Triatoma brasiliensis (Hemiptera: Reduviidae) in State of Ceará, Northeastern Brazil.

INTRODUCTION Triatoma brasiliensis is the species of greatest epidemiological relevance in the semi-arid region of Brazil. This species is predominantly found in domestic environments, and it has the ability to build large colonies with high levels of natural infection via Trypanosoma cruzi. Thus, T. brasiliensis is one of the most efficient transmitters of Chagas disease (CD) to humans. Despit...

Development of a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model of isopropanol and its metabolite acetone.

A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model for isopropanol (IPA) and its major metabolite, acetone, is described. The structure of the parent chemical model, which can be used for either IPA or acetone by choosing the appropriate chemical-specific parameters, is similar to previously published models of volatile organic chemicals such as styrene. However, in order to properly simulate...

Toxicological profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of Musa paradisiaca in rats

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the toxicity profile of the aqueous-fermented extract of Musa paradisiaca in rats. Materials and Methods: In acute toxicity test, the rats of different groups were orally administered with a single dose of 500, 1000, 2000 and 5000 mg/kg of fermented extract of M. paradisiaca. The rats were monitored for behavioral changes, toxicity signs and mortali...
