چکیده
1. The metabolism of cisand trans-acenaphthene-1,2-diol has been studied after the administration of these compounds to rats by subcutaneous injection and by stomach tube. 2. 1,8-Naphthalic acid has been isolated as its anhydride from the urine of the dosed animals. 3. A spectrophotometric method for the determination of free and conjugated 1,8-naphthalic acid in urine has been developed and has been used in the study of the metabolism of the acenaphthene-1,2-diols. 4. The urine of rats dosed with cis-acenaphthene-1,2-diol by subcutaneous injection was shown by paper chromatography to contain both cisand trans-acenaphthene-1,2diol. Similar findings were obtained after the subcutaneous injection of transacenaphthene1,2-diol.

Oral toxic exposure of titanium dioxide nanoparticles on serum biochemical changes in adult male Wistar rats
Objective(s): Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles (NPs) are widely used in commercial food additives and cosmetics worldwide. Uptake of these nanoparticulate into humans by different routes and may exhibit potential side effects, lags behind the rapid development of nanotechnology. Thus, the present study designed to evaluate the toxic effect of mixed rutile and anatase TiO2 NPs on serum bioc...
متن کاملVitamin C and Chitosan Alleviate Toxic Effects of Paraquat on Some Biochemical Parameters in Hepatocytes of Common Carp
Background: Paraquat is nonselective bipyridyl herbicide that induces hepatotoxicity through oxidative stress. Vitamin C and chitosan have antioxidant as well as radical scavenger properties and show protective effects against reactive oxygen species (ROS). In the present study, hepatoprotective effects of chitosan and vitamin C were evaluated in common carp exposed to paraquat. Methods: Whi...

body but rather that both ethyl trichloroand trifluoro-acetate are effective as lipotropic agents because of the CC13 or CF3 group. These groups are larger than the CH3 group and may exert their effects through a steric blockage of an enzyme system. Ethyl dichloroacetate was not only without lipotropic action but was highly toxic when given to rats in an established choline-deficient state. Rat...
