Increased acetone exhalation induced by metabolites of halogenated C1 and C2 compounds.
1982
Rats were exposed, in a closed desiccator jar chamber, to concentrations of various halogenated C1 and C2 compounds at which the metabolizing capacities were saturated (Vmax conditions). Within the exposure period of 50 h concentrations of the xenobiotic and of exhaled acetone were monitored in the gas phase of the system. The quantitative extent of acetone exhalation was dependent on the individual compound examined. Acetone exhalation was stimulated in presence of vinyl chloride, vinyl bromide, vinyl fluoride, vinylidene fluoride, cis- and trans-1,2-dichloroethylene, trichloroethylene, perchloroethylene, methylene chloride, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride and 1,1,2-trichloroethane.

Inhalation pharmacokinetics based on gas uptake studies. IV. The endogenous production of volatile compounds.
1983
A pharmacokinetic description of production, distribution and metabolism of endogenous volatile compounds is presented. This description uses the "gas uptake model" of a closed recirculated atmosphere in which experimental animals are exposed. As an example, the production rates of acetone, under different conditions of stimulation by xenobiotics, are calculated from published experimental data. The theoretical descriptions may serve as a basis for treating the problem of hydrocarbon exhalation in toxicological experiments with compounds eliciting lipid peroxidation.
Alkylation of RNA by Vinyl Chloride and Vinyl Bromide Metabolites in Vivo: Effect on Protein Biosynthesis
1981
Alkylation of DNA is viewed as representing the initial critical step in carcinogenesis induced by chemical substances. Vinyl chloride and vinyl bromide, compounds with proven carcinogenic potency toward the liver, are biotransformed to reactive metabolites which covalently bind to DNA (see Bolt et al. 1980). Furthermore, extensive covalent binding of metabolites of both vinyl chloride (Laib and Bolt 1977, 1978) and vinyl bromide (Ottenwalder et al. 1979) occurs to RNA of liver when rats are exposed to both vinyl halides. Defined products of alkylation are 1,N6-ethenoadenosine (Laib and Bolt 1777; Ottenwalder et al. 1979) and 3,N4-ethenocytidine (Laib and Bolt 1978; Ottenwalder et al. 1979)…
Metabolic Activation and Pharmacokinetics in Hazard Assessment of Halogenated Ethylenes
1981
Halogenated ethylenes play an important role in occupational and environmental medicine. Several attempts at toxicological evaluation of such compounds have been recently published (Maltoni 1977; Lee et al. 1978; Gehring et al. 1979; Kappus and Ottenwalder 1980; Henschler et al. 1980; Bolt 1980). The principal question is that of possible carcinogenicity. It is now clear that vinyl chloride (Maltoni 1977) and vinyl bromide (Bolt et al. 1979) are carcinogenic; some data also argue in favor of carcinogenicity of vinylidene chloride (Lee et al. 1978). Trichloroethylene (Henschler et al. 1980) and perchloroethylene (Bolt and Link 1980), according to present data, appear devoid of cancerogenic p…
