摘要
Acute tannic acid intoxication was studied in mice and sheep. In mice, following oral administration of 2.0 to 4.6 g of tannic acid kg-1 bodyweight, periacinar coagulative and haemorrhagic necrosis occurred in the liver. In sheep, following oral (8 g kg-1 bodyweight) administration of tannic acid, liver necrosis was not observed either histologically or detected biochemically, although transmission electron microscopy showed focal hepatocellular necrosis, steatosis and acicular crystal cleft formation. In sheep given tannic acid intraperitoneally (0.1 g kg-1 bodyweight), liver necrosis occurred and plasma sodium and glucose levels significantly (P<0.05) decreased while packed cell volume and plasma aspartate aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine and bilirubin significantly (P<0.01) rose. The results for blood-gas and acid-base determinations, blood haemoglobin and oxygenation showed significant increases in arterial blood methaemoglobin concentration (P<0.05) and decreases in blood pH (P<0.01) and oxyhaemoglobin concentration (P<0.05) in sheep by 32 hours after oral dosing with 8 g of tannic acid kg-1 bodyweight. In sheep given tannic acid intraperitoneally, methaemoglobinaemia was not detected, but metabolic acidosis with a compensatory respiratory alkalosis occurred. Thus, it would appear that although tannic acid is hepatotoxic when given orally to mice or intraperitoneally to sheep, it does not produce renal or significant hepatic injury in sheep when given orally, but rather causes metabolic acidosis and methaemoglobinaemia.
