Changes of lipid spectrum in different tissues of Furadan-treated mice. 1986

M Gupta, and S Mukherjee, and S D Gupta, and A K Dolui, and S N Dey, and D K Roy

The effects of multiple intraperitoneal doses of Furadan (0.125 mg/kg, 0.25 mg/kg and 0.50 mg/kg, respectively) for the 2nd week, 4th week and 6th week of treatment on the concentrations of total lipid and its different fractions and lipase activity in mice were studied. The following were measured in liver, kidney, brain and serum; total lipid, cholesterol (total and free), phospholipid (total and its fractions--lecithin, lysolecithin, phosphatidyl ethanolamine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine), triglyceride, free fatty acid. Lipase activity was measured in liver and serum. Furadan caused biochemical disorders of the tissues. All the aforesaid lipid fractions (except free fatty acid) are elevated significantly in liver, kidney and serum of Furadan-treated mice. Free fatty acid increased significantly in serum and remain constant in other tissues of pesticide-treated mice. All the lipid fractions except phospholipid and its fractions remained constant in brain of treated mice; total phospholipid and its fractions decreased significantly in brain of treated mice. Lipase activity decreased significantly in liver and serum of treated mice. Such disorders of lipid levels in the aforesaid tissues might be associated with CNS depressant action and structural and functional toxicity of other tissues induced by Furadan.

D007306 Insecticides Pesticides designed to control insects that are harmful to man. The insects may be directly harmful, as those acting as disease vectors, or indirectly harmful, as destroyers of crops, food products, or textile fabrics. Insecticide
D008049 Lipase An enzyme of the hydrolase class that catalyzes the reaction of triacylglycerol and water to yield diacylglycerol and a fatty acid anion. It is produced by glands on the tongue and by the pancreas and initiates the digestion of dietary fats. (From Dorland, 27th ed) EC 3.1.1.3.

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D008297 Male Males
D009186 Myelin Sheath The lipid-rich sheath surrounding AXONS in both the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEMS and PERIPHERAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The myelin sheath is an electrical insulator and allows faster and more energetically efficient conduction of impulses. The sheath is formed by the cell membranes of glial cells (SCHWANN CELLS in the peripheral and OLIGODENDROGLIA in the central nervous system). Deterioration of the sheath in DEMYELINATING DISEASES is a serious clinical problem. Myelin,Myelin Sheaths,Sheath, Myelin,Sheaths, Myelin
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D001923 Brain Chemistry Changes in the amounts of various chemicals (neurotransmitters, receptors, enzymes, and other metabolites) specific to the area of the central nervous system contained within the head. These are monitored over time, during sensory stimulation, or under different disease states. Chemistry, Brain,Brain Chemistries,Chemistries, Brain
D002235 Carbofuran A cholinesterase inhibitor that is used as a systemic insecticide, an acaricide, and nematocide. (From Merck Index, 11th ed) Bayer 70143,Furadan,NIA-10242,NIA 10242,NIA10242
D002784 Cholesterol The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils. Epicholesterol
