Daily treatment of rats with 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB, 1 mg/kg/day i.p.) produces a flaccid neuromuscular weakness first observed in the hindlimbs after 5 to 6 days of treatment. This condition is characterized by diminished contractile strength following single shock and tetanic

[14C] Dithiobiuret (DTB)-derived radioactivity is eliminated by adult male rats with an approximate plasma half-life of 8-10 hr. About 65-75% of an i.p. dose appears in the urine within 24 hr after treatment and about 2-4% appears in the feces

2,4-Dithiobiuret (DTB) exposure causes a delayed onset muscle weakness in rats that has been attributed to depressed neuromuscular transmission. The present study compares the effects of DTB on both sensory and motor function in rats. Adult male Long-Evans hooded rats

Urinary excretion of porphyrin precursors delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG) and total porphyrins was measured during intoxication of rats with 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB), a chemical which produces delayed-onset neuromuscular weakness, in an attempt to ascertain whether or not DTB poisoning
