Neurotoxicity of acrylamide and its analogues and effects of these analogues and other agents on acrylamide neuropathy.
N-Hydroxymethylacrylamide, N-methylacrylamide, and N,N-diethylacrylamide produce peripheral neuropathy in rats. Seven other compounds related to acrylamide do not produce neuropathy. Rats given one of the three neurotoxic compounds are more susceptible to acrylamide. A regime for testing acrylamide analogues for neuro-toxicity is suggested. DDT, phenobarbitone, or high dietary concentrations of...
متن کاملMegaoesophagus due to acrylamide neuropathy.
Greyhound dogs exposed to oral acrylamide for a period of eight weeks developed a sensorimotor peripheral neuropathy that had many features in common with acrylamide neuropathy seen in other species. Most of the animals also developed the clinical and radiological features of megaoesophagus. The association of neuropathy and megaoesophagus suggests that an axonopathy of the vagus may be an aeti...
متن کاملReversible abnormalities of the Hering Breuer reflex in acrylamide neuropathy.
The sensitivity of the Hering Breuer reflex was compared in anaesthetised rabbits before, during and after the induction of acrylamide neuropathy, and was measured as the tracheal pressure which produced 30 seconds of apnoea. After four weeks of acrylamide (400 mg/kg total dose) there was ataxia and the conduction velocity of hindlimb motor nerves was significantly reduced. At this time there w...
متن کاملAbnormalities of oesophageal mechanoreceptors in canine acrylamide neuropathy.
Dogs exposed to acrylamide develop peripheral neuropathy and megaoesophagus. The properties of slowly adapting oesophageal mechanoreceptors were studied in six control and five acrylamide affected greyhounds in which the oesophagus had been surgically isolated under anaesthesia and oesophageal pressure was controlled while monitoring impulses in oesophageal afferent fibres in the cervical vagus...
متن کاملDermal and neural toxicity caused by acrylamide exposure in two Korean grouting workers: a case report
BACKGROUND Peripheral neuritis caused by acrylamide is well-known, and many Korean grouting workers are frequently exposed to acrylamide in grouting agents that are injected into cracked concrete. We recently encountered two cases of dermal and neural toxicity in Korean grouting workers with exposure to grouting agents that contained a high concentration of acrylamide. CASE PRESENTATION The f...
متن کاملSlow axonal transport in acrylamide neuropathy: different abnormalities produced by single-dose and continuous administration.
Alterations in axonal caliber and neurofilament content have been associated with altered neurofilament transport in several models of neurofibrillary degeneration. Acrylamide intoxication provides a prototype of distal axonal degeneration, the most frequent pattern of axonal pathology in human and experimental neurotoxic injury. Neurofibrillary changes are a variable and often minor aspect of ...
