Inhalation is a common route by which individuals are exposed to toxicants. The air contains a multitude of gases and vapors that are brought into the respiratory tract with each breath. Depending upon the physical and chemical characteristics of the

Dibasic esters (DBE) solvent has been demonstrated to induce a mild degeneration of the olfactory, but not the respiratory epithelium of the rat nasal cavity following a 90-day inhalation exposure. Previous work has demonstrated that acid phosphatase release is a

We have previously developed a rat nasal explant system for investigating upper respiratory tract toxicity, and the aims of this study were to determine whether heat shock protein (HSP) 70 is induced in this model following exposure to carbon tetrachloride

Inhalation exposure of rats to dibasic esters revealed lesions of the nasal olfactory epithelium similar to those observed with other ester solvents. Female rats are more sensitive to these effects than are male rats. It has been proposed that carboxylesterase
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 108(3), 538-546 (1991-05-01)
Inhalation exposure of the male and female rat to high concentrations of a mixture of the dibasic esters dimethyl succinate (DMS), dimethyl glutarate (DMG), and dimethyl adipate (DMA) results in mild olfactory toxicity. This response is thought to be due
