The concentrations of trace elements (zinc and copper) in urine, serum, and pure saliva obtained from submandibular glands were determined 24 h and 20 d after the last administration of the drug. At the same time, kidneys and submandibular glands were examined histopathologically by electron microscopy. Rats receiving gentamicin demonstrated phospholipidosis at the end of 5 d of administration. At the same time, elevated zinc and copper levels in urine, increased zinc levels in serum, and decreased copper levels in serum and zinc levels in saliva were observed. Twenty days after the last injection, the levels of these metals were comparable to the control group and none of the sections demonstrated phospholipidosis. Based on these results, it may be concluded that certain changes in the levels of these metals in serum and saliva could also be an indicator of acute gentamicin nephrotoxicity.","PeriodicalId":87425,"journal":{"name":"Toxic substance mechanisms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86384393","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The acute oral neurotoxicity of toluene was investigated in male and female Sprague-Dawley rats. Dose selection was made relative to a benchmark dose (BD). The BD was defined as the maximum nonlethal neurotoxic dose and was examined by range-finding studies. The 3 oral (gavage) doses were 3.0 ml/kg (50% BD), 4.5 ml/kg (75% BD), and 6.0 ml/kg (100% BD). To characterize its neurotoxicity, a functional observational battery (FOB) and spontaneous motor activity (SMA) were measured on d 1 (2-3 h and 4-7 h postexposure times for FOB and SMA, respectively), 7, and 14 following toluene administration. The data indicate that on d 1, when compared with the saline controls, toluene-exposed rats (males at 4.5- and 6.0-ml/kg doses and females at 6.0-ml/kg dose) exhibited significantly ( p <.05) greater horiz...","PeriodicalId":87425,"journal":{"name":"Toxic substance mechanisms","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90343735","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lead concentrations were determined by flame atomic absorption spectroscopy, in whole blood and in submandibular and parotid salivas.

Lead concentrations in whole blood and in submandibular and parotid salivas were determined to be significantly different from their respected controls.
