Chloroform-induced olfactory mucosal degeneration and osseous ethmoid hyperplasia are not associated with olfactory deficits in Fischer 344 rats.

Abstract:

:Adult female F-344 rats were trained (avoidance rate > 70%) over four days with a coupled tone- (n = 10 rats/dose) or 2 ppm acetaldehyde-cued (n = 6 rats/dose) foot shock paradigm. Rats were gavaged with chloroform dissolved in corn oil for 5 days/week for 3 week at 0 or 400 (tone-cued) or 0, 34, 100, or 400 (odor-cued) mg/kg body weight/day. Tone-cued response was reevaluated 6, 16, and 38 days after the first chloroform dose (day 1). Olfaction was assessed on days 6-7, 20-21, and 41-42 using 2 or 0.0002 ppm acetaldehyde. Nasal histopathology (n = 4-5 rats/dose) was assessed on days 6, 20, and 42. Significantly decreased body weights were observed following a single 100 or 400 mg/kg chloroform dose. Body weights in the 400 mg/kg/day chloroform group remained depressed for 17 days. Histopathology revealed degenerative changes in olfactory mucosa and underlying ethmoid turbinate bones that were essentially identical in nature and severity, including dose-response and progression, to those reported previously for chloroform gavage (Larson et al., Food Chem. Toxicol., 1995;33:443 456). At all dose level and sacrifice timepoints, however, regions of morphologically normal olfactory mucosa were present, especially in dorsal medial and ventral lateral regions of the nose. Neither odor- nor tone-cued avoidance behaviors were affected, indicating that even fairly severe and extensive chloroform-induced olfactory mucosal degeneration is not associated with a detectable olfactory deficit in rats.
