No important differences in hemoglobin and hematocrit values occurred among subgroups of a cohort of 295 healthy, mature infants who were fed various dietry regimens of iron-fortified products, including cereal, whole milk, and corn syrup. Among all infants between the ages of 4 and 27 months, the
p-Chloro-alpha,alpha,alpha trifluorotoluene (CTFT) is a volatile, aromatic liquid used as a chemical intermediate in the manufacture of dinitroaniline herbicides. To evaluate the toxicity of CTFT, groups of F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex were administered CTFT by gavage once a day for 14
The application of alpha-cyclodextrin (alpha-CD) as an alternative vehicle for water insoluble and volatile chemicals was investigated in toxicity studies of p-chloro-alpha, alpha, alpha-trifluorotoluene (CTFT). Groups of F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice of each sex were administered CTFT (97% pure) by
Smilax aristolochiaefolia (Liliaceae) has been used in Mexican traditional medicine for the treatment of tumors, leprosy, anemia and as a tonic for skin infections and anemia. Aplastic anemia (AA) was induced in CD1 mice 8-12 weeks old distributed 10 animals each in Groups VSC, AA, AASa and AAr.
Five infants, age 1 to 7 months, were given a formula of barley water, whole milk, and corn syrup (Karo) or honey. Three patients had subnormal growth, two fit the criteria for failure to thrive, and two demonstrated a microcytic hypochromic anemia. The delayed growth and anemia were corrected by
The ultrastructural and erythrokinetic characteristics of vitamin E deficiency in swine were investigated in an effort to evaluate the suitability of the swine disorder as a model of the human congenital dyserythropoietic anemias. The dominant erythrokinetic abnormality in vitamin E deficient pigs,
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
Tetrachlorophthalic anhydride (TCPA) is primarily used as a flame retardant in plastics. Toxicology studies were conducted by administering TCPA by oral gavage to F344/N rats and B6C3F1 mice for 13 weeks. Evaluations included histopathology, clinical pathology, and analyses of reproductive system
Evaluation of multiple-stressor effects stemming from habitat degradation, climate change, and exposure to chemical contaminants is crucial for addressing challenges to ecological and environmental health. To assess the effects of multiple stressors in an understudied taxon, the western fence lizard
N,N-dimethyl-p-toluidine was nominated for toxicology and carcinogenesis studies by the National Cancer Institute based on the potential for human exposure through its use in dental materials and bone cements and the lack of toxicity and carcinogenicity data. Male and female F344/N rats and B6C3F1/N
Dose levels for these studies were selected mainly on the basis of subchronic studies, although consideration was also given to workplace exposure levels and proposed mechanism of tumor formation with structurally similar compounds. For the chronic study, groups of 60 male and 60 female
The short-term oral toxicity of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (alpha-TNT) was determined in dogs, rats, and mice. Single-dose oral LD50s for alpha-TNT in corn oil were 1320 and 794 mg/kg in male and female rats, respectively, and 660 mg/kg in both male and female mice. For multiple-dose studies, dogs were
3,3',4,4'-Tetrachloroazobenzene is not commercially manufactured but is formed as an unwanted byproduct in the manufacture of 3,4-dichloroaniline and its herbicidal derivatives Propanil(R), Linuron(R), and Diuron(R). In addition, environmental contamination by 3,3',4,4'-tetrachloroazobenzene occurs
Benzene is a well-known environmental pollutant that can induce hematotoxicity, aplastic anemia, acute myelogenous leukemia, and lymphoma. However, although benzene metabolites are known to induce oxidative stress and disrupt the cell cycle, the mechanism underlying lympho/leukemogenicity is not
Chronic toxicity of 1,2,3,4,6,7,8-heptachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (HpCDD) including its carcinogenicity was studied in female Sprague-Dawley rats in lifetime experiments. Six single dose and three multiple dose rate experiments were conducted with a single dose corn oil control group and a multiple dose
