Biochemical effects of di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate. 1975

S P Srivastava, and P K Seth, and D K Agarwal

Di-2-ethylhexyl phthalate (DEHP) is a widely used plasticizer in the plastics industry. Biochemical changes in rat blood and liver were studied at 21 days after 3 intraperitoneal injections of DEHP on days 1, 5 and 10. In the liver, a decrease in the activity of succinic dehyrogenase (SDH) and adenosine triphosphate and an increase in alkaline phosphatase activity was observed. In serum the activity of acid and alkaline phosphatases and glutamic oxaloacetic and glutamic pyruvic transaminases remained unaltered. Under in vitro conditions, only the activity of SDH was inhibited when homogenates or mitochondrial preparations from normal rat liver were incubated with DEHP and the degree of inhibition was related to the concentration of the plasticizer.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008297 Male Males
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.
