Examinations

Examinations:
EXAMINATIONS
- Removal and homogenization of liver, forestomach, and mucosa from small  bowel
- GST activity determination using 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene as  substrate

Results and discussion

Details on results:
None of the compounds elicited increased GST activity in the forestomach.  C6 ring compounds showed no significant effect. C12 ring compounds were  more effective than C8 ring compounds with a decrease in activity in the  order: unsaturated > epoxide > alcohol > saturated. With trans-trans-cis-1,5,9-cyclododecatriene as test substance, the GST  activity in the livers was increased 3.79-, 3.78- and 3.82-fold,  respectively, in three experiments. The increases in the intetinal GST  activity were of similar magnitude.
