Arachidonic and docosahexaenoic acid in hepatic microsomal lipids from male Sprague-Dawley rats are greatly lowered when the animals have been exposed to tetrachloromethane; at the same time, palmitic, oleic and linoleic acid are significantly increased. Hypoxia alone causes similar derangements, but to a lesser extent. These are largely corrected 18 h after exposure; the effects induced by tetrachloromethane are persistent. The increases in 16:0, 18:1 and 18:2 suggest that in both cases microsomal enzymes involved in fatty acid metabolism are inhibited, either reversibly or irreversibly. Reduction of oxygen partial pressure during tetrachloromethane exposure has little effect upon hepatotoxicity as judged by hepatic enzymes in serum; only the onset of their release into the bloodstream is earlier.
