[Volatile organic halogen compounds in food].

Volatile halocarbons have been found in raw water, chlorinated tap water, in blood of healthy individuals and patients, in milk, urine, solutions and laboratory suspensions manufactured by the Medical Industry. Tap water is also used in the food industry and therefore it is reasonable that they also could be analysed in food.

Effects of halogenated analogues of cortisol and progesterone upon hair growth in castrated mice.

Several synthetic analogues of cortisol and progesterone were compared to cortisol in their effect of inhibiting the hair growth waves in castrated male C3H/Ep mice. This inhibitory effect was enhanced by fluorination at C-9 alpha and by methylation at C-16 alpha; it decreased by hydroxylation at C-17 alpha and C-21, by removal of hydroxyl group at C-11 and by the addition to bromine to C-12 alpha; it was not modified by oxidation of the hydroxyl group at C-11 or by the delta 1-4 substitution. There was a correlation between the glucocorticoid and hair inhibiting potencies in the cortisol analogues, but some progesterone analogues with very low glucocorticoid activity have marked hair inhibitory effects. No relation was found with the mineralocorticoid effects.

Assessment of immunologic alterations caused by halogenated aromatic hydrocarbons.

The rational for employing a particular approach and some of the difficulties that can be encountered when adapting immune surveillance to toxicology studies in experimental animals are discussed. Detailed description of methodology will not be reviewed. In general, assays are selected for their reliability, i.e. fairly standard within a normal population; that are capable of detecting subtle differences in immune status; and are specific for particular aspects of the immune system. Since normal immune responses are directly dependent upon at least three distinct subpopulations of lymphocytes, macrophages and their cooperative interactions as well as a number of indirect factors, it is essential to study multiple parameters to properly evaluate the effects of environmental chemicals on the immune system. Immunologic assessment is further complicated by the fact that the immune effects will vary dependent upon the chemical and dosage level as well as the species and age of the experimental animals.
