Determining exposure and biochemical effects in human population studies.
We all are surrounded by and exposed to many chemicals in our personal environment. These chemicals are either naturally occurring or man-made. Such exposures may have profound impact on our health, such as cigarette smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and abuse of illicit and legal drugs, or they may be necessary for our survival, such as nutrients, disinfectants, fertilizers and fuels. Ho...
متن کاملBiochemical and Histopathological Effects of Acute Exposure to Vinyl Acetate Monomer Vapour in Wistar Rats
Background: Vinyl acetate monomer is a commodity chemical widely used in the manufacturing of various products. The chemical is hazardous and exposure to it may occur in both occupational and non-occupational settings. The aim of this study was to characterize the effects of short-term exposure to Vinyl Acetate Monomer (VAM) vapour on the liver and lungs of Wistar rats. Methods: Mice weighing ...

متن کاملStudies on hypoxia. 8. Ultrastructural and biochemical effects of prolonged exposure on rat parotid glands.
The effect of chronic hypoxia upon the rat parotid gland is studied by electron microscopy and biochemistry. Male Sprague-Dawley rats are subjected to 88% N1 and 12% 02 at less than 2 psi pressure for 7 days. For electron microscopy, the tissues are perfusion-fixed, embedded and sectioned in a routine manner. In the biochemical studies, rats are injected with ‘H-phenylalanine (2 &i/g; s.i. + 5 ...
