The toxic effect of thallium added to the bath solution was studied with intra- and extracellular recordings from mammalian nerve-muscle preparations. To elucidate the target region, 3 different functional parameters were studied: (1) Post-synaptic endplate potentials (EPPs) resulting from evoked

An i.p. injection of a solution of thallium acetate in deionized water at a dose of 32 mg/kg, in 24-h-old rats, produces morphological and biochemical alterations in both cartilaginous and osseous tissues. From the beginning, there are alterations in the
Experiments carried out on male mice (ICR) demonstrated a protective effect of premedication with the preparation Sho-Saiko-To (TJ 9, Tsumura and Comp.) against the hepatotoxic effects of CCl4 and T1-acetate, which were manifested by increased peroxidation of lipids and increased

A histopathological study, with a light microscope, of experimental neuromyopathy produced by thallotoxicosis was undertaken in 40 newborn Wistar rats. Treatment consisted of a single i.p. injection of an aqueous solution of 16 mg kg-1 thallium(I) acetate 1 day after
In the isolated phrenic nerve-hemidiaphragm preparation from the rat, thallium acetate induced a dose-dependent irreversible paralysis. There was a major time lag between the onset of the exposure and the decline in the indirectly elicited muscle twitches. The slope of
