Trichloroethanol in trichloroethylene poisoning.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Trichloroethylene and trichloroethanol were given intraperitoneally to guinea-pigs. Their effects were tested by measuring the threshold current intensity of electrical skin stimulation, the electrical excitability of the motor cerebral cortex, by recording and analysis of the electroencephalogram, and by electrocardiographic examination. The two compounds had similar effects on the nervous system and the heart, but trichloroethanol was the more effective by a factor of at least three. These results support the opinion of clinical investigators on the important role of trichloroethanol in the pathogenesis of trichloroethylene

متن کاملTrichloroethylene Toxicological overview
Trichloroethylene is readily absorbed following exposure by inhalation or ingestion and to some extent following skin contact Following absorption trichloroethylene is distributed throughout the body Trichloroethylene undergoes metabolism via an oxidative pathway The main metabolites are trichloroethanol, trichloroethanol-glucuronide and trichloroacetic acid Trichloroethylene is excre...
متن کاملDifferences in urinary trichloroethylene metabolites of animals.
Differences in urinary excretion of trichloroethylene were studied in rabbits, rats and mice. Trichloretylene (1 m mole/kg) was injected intra-peritoneally, then urinary trichloroacetic acid and trichloroethanol glucuronide were measured. The results were: 1. The ratio of total excretion of trichloroethylene metabolites to the administered trichloroethylene decreased in the order of mice, rats ...
متن کاملDegradation pathways of trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane by Mycobacterium sp. TA27.
We analyzed the kinetics and metabolic pathways of trichloroethylene and 1,1,1-trichloroethane degradation by the ethane-utilizing Mycobacterium sp. TA27. The apparent Vmax and Km of trichloroethylene were 9.8 nmol min(-1) mg of cells(-1) and 61.9 microM, respectively. The apparent Vmax and Km of 1,1,1-trichloroethane were 0.11 nmol min(-1) mg of cells(-1) and 3.1 microM, respectively. 2,2,2-tr...
