Chloral hydrate (CH) is a short-lived intermediate in the metabolism of trichloroethylene (TRI). TRI, CH, and two common metabolites, trichloroacetic acid (TCA) and dichloroacetic acid (DCA) have been shown to be hepatocarcinogenic in mice. To better understand the pharmacokinetics of

Trichloroacetaldehyde monohydrate [chloral hydrate (CH)] is a sedative/hypnotic that increases cerebral blood flow (CBF), and its active metabolite 2,2,2-trichloroethanol (TCE) is an agonist for the nonclassical two-pore domain K(+) (K(2P)) channels TREK-1 and TRAAK. We sought to determine whether TCE

The dopaminergic neurons of the ventral tegmental area (DA VTA neurons) have been implicated in the reinforcing properties of drugs of abuse, including ethanol (ethyl alcohol). Ethanol increases the spontaneous firing frequency of DA VTA neurons in vitro, in both

Occupational trichloroethylene (TCE) exposure could induce generalized skin hypersensitivity reactions complicated with severe liver dysfunctions. Active extracellular matrix degradation and remodeling are involved in the skin hypersensitivity reaction induced by chemical exposure. In the present study, we have compared the

Trichloroethylene (TCE) is a suspected human carcinogen and a common groundwater contaminant. Chloral hydrate (CH) is the major metabolite of TCE formed in the liver by cytochrome P450 2E1. CH is metabolized to the hepatocarcinogen trichloroacetate (TCA) by aldehyde dehydrogenase
