Abstract :
Acetylcholinesterase, glutamine synthetase, acid phosphatase and glutamate dehydrogenase activity in brain and cholinesterase activity in blood were investigated in mice exposed to 170 p.p.m. trichloroethylene (TCE) during 30 days. The neuronal enzymes remained unaffected which suggests that no general damage occurred to either the glia or the nerve cell populations. In accordance with this no effect was seen on acid phosphatase. In contrast, plasma butyrylcholinesterase increased twofold in exposed male mice while it was unaffected in females. Liver weight in males and females increased with a factor of 1.5 and 1.9, respectively. |
