Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic toxicity of diethyl phthalate in male Wistar rats--a dose-response study.
TL;DR: It is evident from this study that treatment with higher concentrations of DEP results in mitochondrial proliferation as well as accumulation of glycogen, cholesterol and triglycerides within the liver, but exposure to lower concentrations for longer periods results in increase in peroxisome numbers leading to severe hepatocellular changes.
Journal ArticleDOI
A two-generation chronic mixture toxicity study of Clophen A60 and diethyl phthalate on histology of adrenal cortex and thyroid of rats.
TL;DR: It is concluded that combined administration of Clophen A60 and DEP shows an enhanced toxic effect on adrenal glands of F1-generation male and female rats, but the effect is much more marked in the thyroglobulin and fibrosis of the interfollicular epithelium.
Journal ArticleDOI
Chronic toxicity of diethyl phthalate—A three generation lactational and gestational exposure study on male Wistar rats
TL;DR: It can be concluded from this study, that continuous exposure through food, gestation and lactation over three generation's inspite of dose reduction of DEP leads to an enhanced toxic effect in the latter generations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dose-dependent sub-chronic toxicity of diethyl phthalate in female Swiss mice
TL;DR: A significant dose dependent increase was observed in serum acid phosphatase (ACP), serum and liver triglycerides levels showed a significant increase only in the high-dose treated group, and significant dose-dependent increase in serum aspartate and alanine aminotransferase and liver glycogen was observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Toxicity study of maternal transfer of polychlorinated biphenyls and diethyl phthalate to 21-day-old male and female weanling pups of Wistar rats.
Contzen Pereira,C. Vaman Rao +1 more
TL;DR: A synergistic interactive toxic effect of PCB and DEP was evident in both male and female pups in the following study, with significant increase in liver and serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and acid phosphatase (ACP) activity and significant decrease in liver ALP.
