Diesel Oil Vapor Inhalation : A Health Risk for Liver
نویسنده
چکیده
Studies show that inhalation of oil gas vapor may impose serious health risks for individuals exposed to such vapor. The main aim of this study was to determine the effects of diesel oil vapor inhalation on SGOT and SGPT as indices of liver function. Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control animals, and rats that exposed to diesel oil vapor for 1 hour/day, for 2 hours/day and for 3 hours/day. After a period of 6 weeks, blood samples were collected and level of SGOT and SGPT was measured by spectrophotometry method. Data were statistically analyzed and compared between groups using ANOVA. Our findings indicated that SGOT was significantly decreased in rats exposed to diesel oil for 2h/day and 3h/day (P<0.01 and P<0.05, respectively). SGPT was non-significantly decreased in rats exposed to diesel oil vapor compared with control animals. Our finding indicates that exposure to diesel oil vapor can bring about decreased SGPT level, indicating the health risk caused by exposure to diesel oil inhalation, in particular, to liver.

Furfural is being added to kerosene to check the adulteration of gasoline/high speed diesel oil. The possibility of a co-exposure of furfural and kerosene and the ability to exhibit the toxic effects of such a mixture were examined in view of the toxicity potential of the two alone and in combination with each other. A single inhalation exposure of rats to furfural was fully tolerated up to a c...

Background: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic liver disease (CLD). Omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants co-supplementation have been considered as an alternative treatment in NAFLD. This trial will evaluate camelina sativa oil (CSO) effects as a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants on cardiometabolic risk factors, metabolic endotoxemia, liver en...
