Popis: | Various doses of dibromobenzene isomers (1,2-dBB, 1,3-dBB, 1,4-dBB) were administered (i.p.) to BALB mice. The levels of reduced glutathione (GSH) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in the liver, and glutamate-pyruvate transaminase (GPT) (EC.2.6.1.2) gamma-glutamyltransferase (gamma-GT) (EC.2.3.2.2) and triglycerides (TG) in the serum were estimated. A considerable decrease of GSH was observed between 2 and 12 h after administration of the compounds. Increases in serum GPT activity (up to 100-fold) and gamma-GT (three-to fivefold) were observed after treatment using 1,2- and 1,3-dibromobenzenes; TG decreased in concentration initially and then slightly increased. Histopathological examination confirmed the strong necrotic effect of 1,2- and 1,3-dBB isomers. No such changes (elevation of serum GPT activity and necrosis) were noticed after 1,4-dBB. |
