Retrocaval ureter is a very rare condition. In light of the experimental studies, one of the etiologic factors seems to be maternal contact with diethylene glycol monomethyl ether or ethylene glycol monomethyl ether. A case of cardiovascular, skeletal, and retrocaval

In this paper, we determined whether ethylene glycol monomethyl ether (EGME) and diethylene glycol monomethyl ether (diEGME) induce hepatic gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activity. Male adult Wistar rats weighing 220 g were used as experimental animals. EGME (100, 300 mg/kg per day)

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

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

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
