A compact multichamber gas inhalation exposure system for mice.

Abstract:

:A multi-unit, dynamic flow, inhalation exposure system which is capable of accommodating 12 mice per unit has been described. Components of the system include a mixing board, one or more glass distributing tubes, and detachable glass chamber tubes. The flow of a specified concentration of test gas exits from the mixing board, enters a distributing tube, and is then distributed equally to 12 chamber tubes housing one mouse each. Advantages includes quick equilibration time (10 min), relatively low flow rates (20 l/min per distributing tube), ease of disassembly for cleaning, compact size, modest expense and minimal temperature, pressure and physico-chemical effects.

  • Influence of paracetamol (acetaminophen) on cadmium-induced lipid peroxidation in hepatocytes from starved rats.

    abstract::Isolated hepatocytes form thiobarbituric acid (TBA)-reactants, a parameter of lipid peroxidation (LPO), when exposed to cadmium (Cd). Paracetamol (Para) inhibits this response, dependent on time and concentration. Cd-induced SH-group decline, however, and enhanced plasma membrane permeability to Trypan Blue (TB) were ...
