Trichloroethanol in trichloroethylene poisoning.
Trichloroethylene and trichloroethanol were given intraperitoneally to guinea-pigs. Their effects were tested by measuring the threshold current intensity of electrical skin stimulation, the electrical excitability of the motor cerebral cortex, by recording and analysis of the electroencephalogram, and by electrocardiographic examination. The two compounds had similar effects on the nervous sys...
متن کاملAn unusual autoerotic fatality associated with chloroform inhalation.
We report the death of a young male attributed to chloroform poisoning during autoerotic asphyxia. He was found lying on the floor of his apartment, prone on a piece of foam and a towel. His eyes were bound with a towel, his lower face and nose were almost entirely covered with duct tape surrounding a rubber hose in his mouth. The other end of the hose was loosely sitting inside an open bottle ...
متن کاملEnterohepatic recirculation of trichloroethanol glucuronide as a significant source of trichloroacetic acid. Metabolites of trichloroethylene.
Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is a metabolite of trichloroethylene (TRI) thought to contribute to its hepatocarcinogenic effects in mice. Recent studies have shown that peak blood concentrations of TCA do not occur until approximately 12 hr after an oral dose of TRI; however, blood concentrations of TRI reach a maximum within 1 hr and is nondetectable after 2 hr. The objective of this study was to...
متن کاملSex differences in metabolism of trichloroethylene and trichloroethanol in guinea pigs.
OBJECTIVES Trichloroethylene (TRI) has the potential to cause generalized dermatitis complicated with hepatitis. The guinea pig maximization test (GPMT) also suggests that both TRI and its metabolite trichloroethanol (TCE) exhibit immunogenicity and possible sex differences in guinea pigs. However, TRI and TCE metabolisms in guinea pigs have not been elucidated in detail. The first issue to cla...
متن کاملA simple method for the quantitative analysis of urinary trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid as an index of trichloroethylene exposure.
Ogata, M., Takatsuka, Y., and Tomokuni, K. (1970). Brit. J. industr. Med., 27, 378-381. A simple method for the quantitative analysis ofurinary trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid as an index of trichloroethylene exposure. A simple method of estimating trichloroethanol and trichloroacetic acid in the urine of workers exposed to trichloroethylene is described. The glucuronide of trichloroe...
