The aim of this work was to determine the role of intraperitoneally-administered vitamin E and selenium on the biochemical and haematological parameters in the blood of rats. Thirty-two adult male Wistar rats were used in this study. All rats were randomly divided into four groups. The ®rst group wa

✦ Synopsis
Rats were given ethanol in drinking water for 8 months, followed by inhalation exposure (5 h daily) to 12.000 mg m-3 xylene for 9 days. Combined exposure to xylene and ethanol induced the same changes in the haematological, biochemical and biophysical parameters of the erythrocyte membrane as those found previously in our experiment with toluene-ethanol. Macrocytosis, a decrease in sedimentation rate and erthrocyte packing difference, as well as decreased fluidity of the erythrocytes membrane in the middle zone of the lipid bilayer, were the most significant changes of exposure to ethanol and xylene.

Animals, including rats, have a predisposition to process and use spatial information to organize and guide behavior. The hippocampus and related structures are critically involved in this function, and, consequently, it has been proposed that one function of the hippocampus is to construct ''spatia
