Biochemical alterations in the peripheral nerves of rats intoxicated with carbon disulphide. 1982

J Opacka, and T Wrońska-Nofer

Some biochemical correlates of Wallerian degeneration of the peripheral nerve were compared in carbon disulphide (CS2) and acrylamide-induced neuropathies. Rats were exposed to CS2 at two concentrations (1.5 mg/l and 0.8 mg/l air). An increase in the activities of beta-glucuronidase and acid phosphatase, in the ratio of cholesterol esters to free cholesterol (E/F) and a decrease in phospholipids in the sciatic nerve of rats exposed to CS2 was found. The magnitude of these changes was related to the concentration of CS2 and the alterations were similar to those observed in the sciatic nerve of rats intoxicated with acrylamide.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010525 Peripheral Nerves The nerves outside of the brain and spinal cord, including the autonomic, cranial, and spinal nerves. Peripheral nerves contain non-neuronal cells and connective tissue as well as axons. The connective tissue layers include, from the outside to the inside, the epineurium, the perineurium, and the endoneurium.

D002246 Carbon Disulfide A colorless, flammable, poisonous liquid, CS2. It is used as a solvent, and is a counterirritant and has local anesthetic properties but is not used as such. It is highly toxic with pronounced CNS, hematologic, and dermatologic effects. Disulfide, Carbon
