Effects of contrast media on aortic endothelium. Experiments in the rat with non-ionic monomeric and monoacidic dimeric contrast media. 1980

U Nyman, and T Almén

Injury to the aortic endothelium in rats was evaluated under a light microscope by a silver staining method after application of ionic monomeric (diatrizoate and metrizoate), non-ionic monomeric (C29 with different pH and buffers, 593, iohexol and metrizamide) and monoacidic dimeric (ioxaglate) contrast media, and iso- and hypertonic solutions of sodium chloride. In iodine equivalent concentrations the ionic monomers were significantly more toxic than the other contrast media. No significant was found between the non-ionic monomers, monoacidic dimer and sodium chloride solutions equiosmolal to the ionic monomers. Isotonic saline was the least harmful solution.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007463 Iodobenzoates Benzoic acid esters or salts substituted with one or more iodine atoms. Iodobenzoic Acids,Acids, Iodobenzoic
D007472 Iohexol An effective non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiographic procedures. Its low systemic toxicity is the combined result of low chemotoxicity and low osmolality. Compound 545,Exypaque,Iohexol 350,Nycodenz,Omnipaque
D007479 Iopamidol A non-ionic, water-soluble contrast agent which is used in myelography, arthrography, nephroangiography, arteriography, and other radiological procedures.
