摘要
Male Fischer-344 rats were administered European High Test gasoline (EHT) (50-500 mg/kg), PS-6 unleaded gasoline (UG) (16-500 mg/kg) or 2,2,4-trimethylpentane (TMP) (0.95-30 mg/kg) by gavage for ten consecutive days. To measure cell replication, rats were exposed to [H-3]thymidine continuously over the last 7 days of the exposure period. Twenty-four hours after the final dose, protein droplet (PD) accumulation, alpha2u-globulin (alpha2u) concentration and the nuclear labeling index (LI), as a measure of cell replication, were measured in the kidneys of control and treated rats. Dose-related increases in PD, alpha2u and cell replication were detected in the kidneys of rats treated with either gasoline mixture or TMP. The accumulation of PD and the increase in alpha2u was greater in the kidneys of UG- and TMP-treated rats than in the kidneys of rats treated with EHT. These differences were attributed to the higher composition of branched hydrocarbons in UG, which have been shown to be the biologically active components for these endpoints. The extent of renal cell proliferation was similar in both EHT-, UG- and TMP-treated rats. This suggests that other components besides the branched hydrocarbons are responsible for the increased renal cell replication in EHT-treated rats.
