This study was performed to find out whether in acute exposure to trimethylbenzene (TMB) isomers the dose effect relationship is linear or biphasic. In experiments performed on rats, the effect of four solvents was studied: three TMB isomers: 1,3,5-TMB (mesitylene)

The objective of this study was to determine the uptake and disposition of inhaled trimethylbenzenes (TMBs) in man. The toxicokinetics were studied in 10 male, healthy volunteers exposed to TMB vapor in an exposure chamber for 2 hr during a

Toxic effects of exposure to 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene (hemimellitene) in the condition of subchronic inhalation experiment were examined. Rats were exposed to vapours of hemimellitene at concentrations of 123 mg/m3, 492 mg/m3 and 1230 mg/m3, 6 h/day, 5 days/week for 3 months.
The structure was investigated of the mercapturic acid excreted in urine of rats after the i.p. administration of 1,2,3-trimethylbenzene. Of the two regioisomeric mercapturic acids, i.e. N-acetyl-S-(2,3-dimethylbenzyl)-L-cysteine and N-acetyl-S-(2,6-dimethyl-benzyl)-L-cysteine, only the former was isolated by preparative HPLC and identified, by

In a series of acute experiments on rats the potential of toluene, mesitylene, hemimellitene and pseudocumene to affect the CNS function was assessed following an analysis of spontaneous and evoked hippocampal and cortical activity. The electrophysiological examinations were performed on
