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

We report a colorimetric method for determining lithium in blood serum without sample pretreatment or solvent-extraction steps. The method is based on a novel chromogenic ionophore that exhibits exceptionally high selectivity (much greater than 4000:1) for lithium over sodium. The

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)
