ful resume of the effects of treatment with tetrachlorethylene was given; the workers concluded that tetrachlorethylene was safer than, and at least as efficient as, carbon tetrachloride. By the courtesy of the workers at the Calcutta School of Tropical Medicine, I was furnished with a quantity of tetrachlorethylene (Parke, Davis and Co.) in December 1933 and the present paper incorporates the ...

chemical processes involved in cellular damage and regeneration are of importance in neo plasia. Agents such as carbon tetrachloride pro duce a sequence of liver damage, regeneration, and hepatoma formation. A single feeding of carbon tetrachloride produces extensive liver necrosis in mice, followed by a rapid proliferation of the re maining uninjured cells, until a normal cornple ment of funct...

Health  Toxic by inhalation, ingestion and dermal exposure  Inhalation and ingestion may cause a reduced conscious level, sickness, headache, dizziness, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea and difficulties with breathing  Ingestion and inhalation may also cause liver and kidney damage, which in severe cases can lead to coma and death  Skin or eye contact can cause irritation  Carbon tetrachl...

the feasibility of extractive reaction of methacrylic acid from aqueous solution using a quaternary amine, tri–octyl methyl ammonium chloride (tomac) as an extractant, was studied. the diluents chosen in the present work belong to different chemical classes, n–butyl acetate, carbon tetrachloride, isoamyl alcohol, methyl isobutyl ketone, and toluene. the effect of initial acid concentration in t...

in this study, the hepatoprotective effect of the methanol extract of aerial parts (shoot) from otostegia persica boiss (golder) was investigated against the carbon tetrachloride (ccl4)-induced acute hepatotoxicity in male rats. liver damage was induced through the oral administration of 50% ccl4 in liquid paraffin (2.5 ml/kg bw, per os) 60 min after the administration of the methanol extract o...

objective: to evaluate the hepatoprotective properties of otostegia persica (o. persica) ethanol extract on carbon tetrachlo­­ride-induced liver damage in rats. materials and methods: fifty adult male wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups. group i served as normal control and was given only olive oil intraperitoneally (i.p.). group ii, iii, iv, and v were administered ccl4 mixed wi...
