Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effects of a single subcutaneous (s.c.) injection of the nitroaliphatic toxicants 3-nitropropanol (NPOH) and 3-nitropropionic acid (NPA) dissolved in physiological saline solution were studied in mice and rats, respectively. Clinical signs observed in both NPOH-treated mice and NPA-treated rats included depression, abnormal motor activity, and recumbency. Succinate dehydrogenase (SDH) activity, demonstrated histochemically in frozen brain sections, was markedly reduced in intoxicated mice and rats. The SDH activity of mitochondrial preparations from brains of intoxicated mice and rats was diminished to 18-24% of control values, although the activity of another mitochondrial flavoprotein enzyme, alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase (alpha-GPDH), was not altered.
