Sammanfattning

Rats, mice and gerbils were continuously exposed to 150 ppm trichloroethylene (TCE) for 30 days. In all three species, there was a marked increase in liver weight. In mice the weight increased more (86%) than in rats and gerbils (20%). After exposure the activity of acid phosphatase, a lysosomal marker enzyme, was tested in different brain areas, using a system which had a limit of detection of ± 10–15%. In most areas no significant influence was found. However, in the brain stem of mice and gerbils the phosphatase activity increased by approx. 10%.
