The toxicokinetics of 2-methylnaphtalene in rats.

چکیده
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to evaluate the toxicokinetics of 2-methylnaphtalene (2-MN) during and after inhalation exposure. MATERIAL AND METHODS Male Wistar rats were exposed to 2-MN vapours at nominal concentrations of 200 or 400 mg/m3 in the dynamic inhalation chamber for 6 hours or 5 days (6 h/day). Blood samples were collected during and after exposure. Blood concentrations of 2-MN were estimated by gas chromatography using the headspace technique. RESULTS During a 6-hour exposure to 200 or 400 mg/m3, blood 2-MN concentration increased rapidly within the first or second hour of exposure, respectively, after reaching a plateau. The elimination of 2-MN from blood followed an open two-compartment model. CONCLUSION 2-MN was rapidly eliminated from blood of the animals exposed by inhalation to 2-MN. During exposure, lung retention of the chemical was found to decrease. Under conditions of repeated 2-MN exposure, no significant systemic 2-MN accumulation could be observed.

Effects of Ethanol on the Toxicokinetics of Methamphetamine in Rabbits
In the current study, the effects of ethanol (EtOH) on toxicokinetics of methamphetamine (MA) and its metabolite amphetamine (AP) were investigated. A single dose of MA hydrochloride at 15 mg/Kg was given intragastrically, either alone (MA group; n = 8) or in conjunction with 3 g/Kg EtOH (MA+EtOH group; n = 8) to rabbits. In placebo group, normal saline only was given (placebo group; n = 4). Pl...

Disinfection of drinking water typically produces a mixture of mono-, di-, and tri-halogenated acetic acids (HAAs). In this study, we investigated the toxicokinetics of HAA mixtures in naive and glutathione transferase zeta 1 (GSTzeta)-depleted male F344 rats administered orally or iv to Mixture-1 (monobromo [MBAA]- dichloro- [DCAA], chlorodibromo- [CDBAA], tribromo- [TBAA] acetic acids) or Mix...
