Results and discussion

Any other information on results incl. tables

Trichloroacetic acid produced no evidence of cytotoxicity in hepatocytes from naive or clofibric acid-pretreated animals of either species at concentrations up to 5.0 mM. Trichloroacetic acid did not alter cellular glutathione (GSH) status in hepatocytes isolated from either Sprague-Dawley rats or B6C3F1 mice. It was concluded from these in vitro observations that trichloroacetic acid is not highly cytotoxic to hepatocytes.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
It was concluded from these in vitro observations that trichloroacetic acid is not highly cytotoxic to hepatocytes.
Executive summary:

In the present study the in vitro cytotoxicity of trichloroacetic acid was determined in hepatocyte suspensions prepared from naive and clofibric acid-pretreated male Sprague-Dawley rats and B6C3F1 mice. Trichloroacetic acid produced no evidence of cytotoxicity in hepatocytes from naive or clofibric acid-pretreated animals of either species at concentrations up to 5.0 mM. Trichloroacetic acid did not alter cellular GSH status in hepatocytes isolated from either Sprague-Dawley rats or B6C3F1 mice. It was concluded from these in vitro observations that trichloroacetic acid is not highly cytotoxic to hepatocytes.
