Diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (diEGME) was one of 15 glycols tested in CD-1 mice using a short-term in vivo reproductive toxicity assay (Chernoff/Kavlock test). Because results were strongly suggestive of potential reproductive toxicity, a teratology study was conducted in Sprague-Dawley

Rlyso, a highly selective and sensitive pH sensor, can stain lysosomes with a novel lysosome-locating group, methylcarbitol. Rlyso was successfully used to detect lysosomal pH changes during apoptosis or induced by chloroquine while avoiding the "alkalizing effect" on lysosomes of

Male and female Fischer 344 rats were exposed to 0, 30, 100, or 216 ppm diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (DEGME) vapors (0, 0.15, 0.49, or 1.06 mg/liter) 6 hr/day, 5 days/week, for 13 weeks. The 216-ppm exposure level was the

The effects of oral treatment of Wistar rats with diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (diEGME) were examined. In a preliminary dose-finding study with non-pregnant rats, diEGME treatment at doses up to 4,000 mg/kg/day on 11 consecutive days decreased relative weights of

Toxicology letters, 43(1-3), 5-21 (1988-10-01)
Glycol ethers are frequently used as solvents, detergents, and emulsifiers alone or as components in industrial and consumer products. The monomethyl and monoethyl ethers of ethylene glycol, and their acetate esters, are teratogenic and embryotoxic and cause testicular damage in
