The role of extracellular glutathione (GSH) and membrane-bound y-glutamyltranspeptidase (yGT) as contributory factors in the disposition and toxicity of inorganic mercury (HgCI2, 1 mg kg-', i.p.) was investigated in rats pretreated with acivicin (AT-125, 10 mg kg-I), a y-GT inhibitor. A high degree

## Abstract The regulation of the high physiological level of serum alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) in BALB/c/J mice was studied. Serum AFP concentration in 7‐ to 12‐week‐old BALB/c/J mice varied from 460 ng/ml up to 2,790 ng/ml and in other strains tested from 10 ng/ml to 400 ng/ml. In contrast to the dif
The role of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM)-dependent thiol methylation in the nephrotoxicity of seven industrial solvents was studied in mice. The seven following solvents were utilized: bromobenzene (BB), styrene (STY), tetrachloroethylene (TTCE), trichloroethylene (TCE), 1,1-dichloroethylene (DCE), 1,
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Inorganic arsenic, given by injection to pregnant laboratory animals, can induce malformations. Arsenic methylation can be inhibited by periodate‐oxidized adenosine (PAD). Severe human health effects from high chronic arsenic exposure have mainly been reported in populat
## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** Inorganic arsenic, when given by injection to pregnant laboratory animals (mice, rats, hamsters), has been shown to induce malformations. Arsenic methylation may be a detoxification step, and diets deficient in protein are a poor source of methyl donors and may possibly
