Oxidative stress with subsequent production of reactive oxygen species has been postulated as one of the mechanisms of naphthalene toxicity. In the present study, the effect of oral administration of the natural antioxidant and free radical scavenger, proanthocyanidins present in grape seeds (GSP, 10 or 50 mg kg, p.o.), has been investigated in rats following the concomitant administration of n...

The growth and reproduction complex (grc-) strains of rats have a 70-kilobase deletion in the major histocompatibility complex (MHC)-linked grc-G/C region that is associated with embryonic death, developmental defects, and an increased susceptibility to chemical carcinogens. To study further the effects associated with the deletion, fibroblastic cell lines from grc-, grc+, and grc+/- rat embryo...

Single fibre electromyography with axonal microstimulation was used to study the margin of safety of neuromuscular transmission in human and in rat muscle. The latter has been claimed to have a significantly wider safety margin compared to man. There is an inverse relationship between the jitter of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ) and its safety factor. Jitter was measured at 498 NMJs of the ex...
