However, there have been no reports to date on the effects of exposure to dioxins during infancy, when the immune organs are developing. Therefore, we investigated the effects of TCDD and antigen exposure during lactation on immune function, especially antibody production capacity, in adult mice. Beginning the day after delivery, lactating mothers were orally administered TCDD or a mixture of TCDD and ovalbumin (OVA) daily for 4 weeks, until the pups were weaned. At 6 weeks of age, progeny mice were orally administered OVA daily for 10 weeks, while non-progeny mice were orally administered OVA or a mixture of TCDD and OVA daily for 10 weeks.

The amount of TCDD transferred from the mother to the progeny via breast milk was determined by measuring TCDD in the gastric contents of the progeny.

Significant cytotoxicity and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were observed when intracellular GSH content was reduced by treatment with L-buthionine-(S, R)-sulphoximine. The involvement of myeloperoxidase (MPO) metabolism was suggested, as when HL-60 cells were exposed to a reaction mixture of vesnarinone-MPO/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/Cl<sup>-</sup>, cytotoxicity was also observed. In contrast, the presence of GSH (1 mM) protected against these cytotoxic effects. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the MPO/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/Cl<sup>-</sup> reaction mixture revealed that vesnarinone was converted into two metabolites, (4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)piperazine [Metabolite 1: M1] and 1-chloro-4-(3,4-dimethoxybenzoyl)piperazine [Metabolite 2: M2]). M2 was identified as the N-chloramine form, a reactive metabolite of M1. Interestingly, M2 was converted to M1, which was accompanied by the conversion of GSH to oxidized GSH (GSSG). Furthermore, when HL-60 cells were exposed to synthetic M1 and M2 for 24 hr, M2 caused dose-dependent cytotoxicity, whereas M1 did not. Cells were protected from M2-derived cytotoxicity by the presence of GSH. In conclusion, we present the first demonstration of the cytotoxic effects and ROS production resulting from the MPO/H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub>/Cl<sup>-</sup> metabolic reaction of vesnarinone and newly identified the causative metabolite, M2, as the N-chloramine metabolite of M1, which induces cytotoxicity in HL-60 cells.

We conclude that the mice, rats, and NHPs examined in the present study generally showed similar sensitivities to convulsion induced by the test articles.

The testicular artery is anastomosed with deferential and cremasteric arteries and is divided into capsular arteries, which give rise to the centripetal arteries and then recurrent arteries. The arterial blood in the testicular tissue is supplied by such a consequent system of arterial vessels, in order from the peripheral to the central area. As anticancer drugs are generally distributed throughout the whole body via the bloodstream and the running and distribution of arteries differ among the testicular areas, we hypothesized that the efficacy of busulfan differs in different testicular areas, particularly between the central and peripheral areas. In this study, busulfan was intraperitoneally injected at 40 mg/kg body weight into C57BL/6J male mice. After 28 days, in busulfan-treated mice, the diameters of seminiferous tubules were significantly higher in the central than in the peripheral area of the testes. The seminiferous tubular areas also significantly decreased in the peripheral areas compared with the central areas. The number of germ cells per seminiferous tubule was significantly higher in the central than in the peripheral area. Sertoli cell nuclei were detached into the lumen in the peripheral area. The number of Leydig cells was significantly lower in the peripheral areas.
