hepatomegaly/トウモロコシ

Mice lacking farnesoid X receptor (FXR) are used as a model for nonalcoholic fatty liver disease because their livers exhibit hepatomegaly, hepatic steatosis, and hepatic inflammation. The influence of fish oil feeding on hepatomegaly and disrupted hepatic function was investigated using female

The protective effect of vitamin A and vitamin E succinate against 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD)-induced acute toxicity and measures of oxidative stress was studied. Ten mice were treated with either vitamin A (50 mg/kg every other day for eight days) or vitamin E succiante (150

Effects of restricted tube-feeding (25% of energy requirements) of protein, lipid, or carbohydrates on body weight loss; hematologic and clinical chemical variables; plasma lipid and amino acid concentrations; nitrogen balance; and hepatic histologic features and lipid concentrations were compared

Xylene isomers and mixed xylenes were administered to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats to evaluate their effects on standard toxicological parameters which included body and organ weights, hematology, serum chemistries, urinalysis and histopathological examination. In the initial study, m, o- or

To elucidate the teratogenic effects, ochratoxin A (OTA) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) were dissolved in corn oil and administered in combination to New Zealand White rabbits during 6-18 days of gestation orally with the dose levels of OTA+AFB1, 0.05+0.05 and 0.1+0.1mg/kg body weight. To assess

CD-1 mice were given oral doses of 0-16 ml/kg/day for five days of Prudhoe Bay (PBCO), South Louisiana and Arabian Light crude oils, Bunker C oil (BCO), mineral oil (MO) and corn oil. Minor decreases in packed cell volume and increases in mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration occurred after

Rats were fed Chow (C; low-fat control) or a purified high-fat (30% of calories) low cholesterol diet containing menhaden oil (MO), corn oil (CO) or lard (L) for 2, 4 or 6 weeks. Rats were killed after an overnight fast. MO-fed rats had a larger weight/body weight that was accompanied by a lower mg

Furan serves as an intermediate in the synthesis and preparation of numerous linear polymers used to prepare temperature-resistant structural laminates and to prepare copolymers used in machine dishwashing products as alternatives to phosphorus- and nitrogen-containing detergents. Toxicology and

The organic phase of the leachate (OPL) from the Love Canal chemical dump site contains more than 100 organic compounds including 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The immunotoxic potential of OPL was determined in two mouse strains which differ in their sensitivity to aromatic hydrocarbon

The purpose of this study was to examine the structural requirements of polychlorinated and polybrominated biphenyls (PCBs and PBBs) for altering tissue levels of retinoids. Seven congeneric PCBs and PBBs were studied: 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCB), 2',3,3',4,5- and

Rats were fed for 35 days diets containing 2% of either brominated corn oil (BCO), monoglyceride of dibromostearate (DBS), monoglyceride of tetrabromostearate (TBS) or a mixture of the two monoglycerides (BMG) which provided proportions of brominated acids comparable to that of the BCO. Hearts from

T-2 toxin (T-2), a trichothecene mycotoxin, produced by several members of the genus Fusarium is a cytotoxic feed contaminant and has been shown to by immunomodulatory. It is suspected that T-2 associated immunomodulation is mediated partly through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. T-2,

In experimental animals fed standard laboratory diets, penta-BDE mixtures can decrease circulating thyroid hormone and liver vitamin A concentrations. A substantial number of pregnant women and their children have marginal vitamin A status, potentially increasing their risk of adverse effects to

The organic phase of a leachate (OPL) from the Love Canal chemical dump site contains more than 100 organic compounds including 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The teratogenic potential of OPL was determined in two inbred and one hybrid mouse strain which differ in their sensitivity to

Toxicology and carcinogenesis studies of technical-grade 2-mercaptobenzothiazole (96%-97% pure), a rubber accelerant and preservative, were conducted by administering the chemical by gavage in a corn oil vehicle to groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex for 16 days, 13 weeks, or 2 years.
