Acute toluene exposure and rat visual function in proportion to momentary brain concentration.
Acute exposure to toluene was assessed in two experiments to determine the relationship between brain toluene concentration and changes in neurophysiological function. The concentration of toluene in brain tissue at the time of assessment was estimated using a physiologically based pharmacokinetic model. Brain neurophysiological function was measured using pattern-elicited visual evoked potenti...
متن کاملMomentary brain concentration of trichloroethylene predicts the effects on rat visual function.
The relationship between the concentration of trichloroethylene (TCE) in the brain and changes in brain function, indicated by the amplitude of steady-state pattern-elicited visual evoked potentials (VEP), was evaluated in Long-Evans rats. VEPs were recorded from visual cortex following stimulation of the eyes and, thus, reflect the function of the afferent visual pathway and, in broad terms, m...
متن کاملAcute perchloroethylene exposure alters rat visual-evoked potentials in relation to brain concentrations.
These experiments sought to establish a dose-effect relationship between the concentration of perchloroethylene (PCE) in brain tissue and concurrent changes in visual function. A physiologically based pharmacokinetic (PBPK) model was implemented to predict concentrations of PCE in the brains of adult Long-Evans rats following inhalation exposure. The model was evaluated for performance against ...
متن کاملUrinary hippuric acid concentration after occupational exposure to toluene.
The results of industrial investigations have shown a correlation between the rate of hippuric acid excretion in a single urine sample collected after daily occupational exposure and the amount of toluene absorbed. The rate of hippuric acid excretion and the average concentration of toluene vapour during exposure time were also related. The quantitative range of the test has been limited to amo...
متن کاملRepeated toluene exposure modifies the acetylation pattern of histones H3 and H4 in the rat brain.
Toluene is a volatile organic solvent with addictive potential that exhibits similarities in its physiological effects and modes of action to other addictive drugs. Despite its widespread abuse, the molecular mechanisms driving the response and adaptation of the organism to this drug are not fully understood. In recent years, different epigenetic mechanisms that modulate gene expression have be...
