Centro de Documentacion de Fundación MAPFRE - Variations of some parameters of enzyme induction in chemical workers

Notas: Sumario: Several parameters related to mono-oxygenase activity were followed in a population of chemical workers and controls. Workers exposed to toluene and xylene had a significant increase of urinary glucaric acid, that was correlated with hippuric acid excretion. On the other hand, workers exposed to pigments showed a marked increase of antipyrine half-life. A dose-related decrease of liver N-demethylase was induced in rats by the administration of a mixture of three of the pigments in use in the plant. The exposure to different chemicals in the workplace seemed to induce a complicated variation of mono-oxygenase levels, some enzyme being inhibited and others induced in the same group of workersRegistros relacionados: En: The Annals of occupational hygiene. - Oxford [etc.]. - nº 1, 1982 ; p. 27-32Materia / lugar / evento: Higiene industrial Contaminantes químicos Productos químicos Xileno Tolueno Riesgo laboral Medicina laboral Metabolismo Otros autores: Dolara, P.
