Pneumotoxic effects of the tri-n-butyl phosphate (TBP) are investigated on rats using biological markers in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and studying key antioxidant enzymes in lung homogenate. Each animal from the experimental group received intratracheally 5 µl TBP (20% v/v in n-dodecane).

✦ Synopsis
Tri-n-butyl phosphate was administered by gavage to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats for 14 consecutive days (low dose: 0.14 ml kg-'; high dose: 0.42 ml k-'). Effects of this chemical were investigated at the end of the feeding period. Histopathological examination of the testes (highdose group) showed the presence of microscopic degenerative changes in the seminiferous tubules. No other abnormal microscopic changes were observed. * 0.01 < p < 0.05; exposed group vs. control group.
