    Notes: The effect of some instrumental parameters on column efficiency in open tubular capillary electrochromatography (OTCEC) has been evaluated. First, it was investigated whether band broadening due to the sample injection process is within a tolerable range when an open tubular column (OTC) of about 10 μm i. d. is used. As a result of the small injection profile factor (K2 = 1.3), injected volumes must be sufficiently small (less than 10 pL) to avoid a significant efficiency loss (〉5%) when hydrodynamic injection by siphoning is employed. Secondly, the kinetic performance of OTCs in a CEC system was estimated from the variation of the reduced plate height (h) with the reduced linear velocity (ν) which was controlled by the voltage applied. Reasonable agreement was obtained between the theoretical h versus ν curve and the experimental values for a group of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons used as test compounds. Values of 0.25 for minimum h at an optimum ν of 16 are estimated, which permit separations with around 400,000 plates per meter to be obtained in less than 5 min. Finally, the possibility of estimating the diffusion coefficients of the solutes in the mobile phase from the plot of the height of a theoretical plate versus electroosmotic flow velocity is shown.

    Notes: ---High-throughput screening is a promising new approach in analytical chemistry. Within the framework of an extended screening program (The German-Chinese Drug Screening Program), the enantioseparation of 86 drugs was investigated by capillary zone electrophoresis in the presence of the chiral solvating agent (CSA) octakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-methyl)-γ-cyclodextrin (TM-γ-CD). By this means, 15 drugs could be separated into enantiomeric pairs. Approximate measures for the degree of interaction (migration retardation factor, Rm) and for the degree of enantiomer recognition (migration separation factors, αm) revealed intriguing patterns that were compared with those found for native γ-cyclodextrin (γ-CD). Although there is a distinct influence of the analyte structure on the electrophoretic data, interpretation remains difficult. Most remarkably, permethylation of γ-CD leads neither to a higher affinity nor to better chiral recognition, in contrast to the findings with α-CD.

    Notes: ---Using factor analysis and stepwise linear regression methods, two parameters - CMR and ECCR - were selected from eight solute-related structure parameters as the most retention-influencing parameters. The relationships between the retention data (k ´) and the two structure parameters were established for 13 O-aryl,O-(1-methylthioethylideneamino)phosphate compounds under a wide range of experimental conditions. The retention data (k ´) of another seven compounds with similar structures were predicted using these QSRR equations. Good agreement was obtained between the experimental k ´ values and predicted ones.

    Notes: ---Temperature-programmed packed capillary liquid chromatography has been coupled off-line to Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, utilizing a commercially available interface with a pneumatic nebulizer rebuilt to handle low flow rates at elevated temperatures. The modified interface showed excellent performance with regard to non-aqueous reversed phase separations of polymer additives, resulting in constructed Gram-Schmidt chromatograms comparable to chromatograms obtained using UV detection. The spray of the in-house constructed nebulizer was not influenced by temperature changes of the column effluent, and hence temperature-programmed gradient separations could be used successfully. The relative standard deviation of peak height was 4.4% (n = 5) and the mass limit of detection was determined to be about 40 ng, using a polymer antioxidant as model compound. The present instrumental coupling has been used for characterization of the antioxidant Irgafos P-EPQ.

    Notes: ---The ability of capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) coupled on-line with capillary isotachophoresis (ITP) sample pretreatment in the column-coupling capillary electrophoresis equipment to separate trace enantiomers present in samples of complex ionic matrices and enantiomers present in their mixtures at significantly differing concentrations has been studied. Enantiomers of 2,4-dinitrophenyl labeled norleucine (DNP-Nleu) and tryptophan enantiomers were employed as model analytes in this work while urine and mixtures of tryptophan enantiomers of differing concentrations served as model samples. Experiments performed with urine samples spiked with the DNP-Nleu racemate at sub-μmol/L concentrations demonstrated excellent sample pretreatment capabilities of ITP (concentration of the analytes, in-column and post-column sample clean up) when coupled on-line with chiral CZE separations. In the CZE separations of enantiomers present in the samples at trace concentrations the sample pretreatment could be performed in both achiral and chiral ITP electrolyte systems. The use of a chiral electrolyte system was found to be essential in the ITP pretreatment of the samples containing the enantiomers at very differing concentrations. For example, a 2×10-7 mol/L concentration of L-tryptophan could be detected in the CZE separation stage of the ITP-CZE combination in samples containing about a 104 excess of D-tryptophan only when the ITP pretreatment was carried out in the electrolyte system providing the resolution of enantiomers (α-cyclodextrin served for this purpose in the present work). A post-column ITP sample clean up was found effective in enhancing the destacking rate of the trace enantiomer in the CZE stage when the migration configuration of the enantiomers was less favorable (the trace constituent migrating behind the major enantiomer).

    Notes: ---The essential oils from French lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) and tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia) were separated by the two-dimensional GC technique of comprehensive gas chromatography. A coupled column combination of non-polar (5% phenyl equivalent) and polyethylene glycol phase columns was used to provide the desired resolution performance. By using a range of known standards, some of the peaks in lavender oil can be assigned. Some of these also occur in tea tree oil; however, from our knowledge of the major constituents in this oil and their relative retention behaviour, most of the major peaks may be tentatively assigned within the 2-dimensional separation space. There appear to be elution patterns within the 2-D space which should be useful in correlating retention with chemical and structural properties of the components, although this will require further evaluation. A range of coeluting peaks, which may not be so readily separated by using a single column capillary GC analysis, are resolved in the experiment described.

    Notes: Columns containing different types of cyclodextrin derivatives have been evaluated for chiral gas chromatographic separation of atropisomeric PCBs, o,p´-DDT and o,p´-DDD. Separation was attempted on columns containing mixed chiral selectors, and the performance of two closely related selectors was also examined. The cyclodextrins were: permethylated-β-CD (PM-β-CD), heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-butyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD (2,3-M-6-TBDMS-β-CD), heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD (2,3-M-6-THDMS-β-CD), and heptakis(2,3-di-O-ethyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-cyclodextrin (2,3-E-6-THDMS-β-CD). The cyclodextrins were dissolved in OV-1701 or in a dimethylsiloxane/silarylene copolymer containing 5% phenyl in the backbone. The application of mixed chiral selectors led to improved separations, however; at most eleven PCB congeners were separated on a single column. Chiral resolution of o,p´-DDD was achieved. The use of a dimethylsiloxane/silarylene copolymer as a matrix for the cyclodextrins is a promising approach. With such a matrix, blocking of the CD cavities by silicone substituent groups can be avoided, and a reasonable CD solubility can be provided. The selectivity of heptakis(2,3-di-O-ethyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD and heptakis(2,3-di-O-methyl-6-O-tert-hexyldimethylsilyl)-β-CD was quite different, the former selector could separate four congeners, while the latter separated ten congeners.

    Notes: ---Quantities of D-amino acids were determined in body fluids (urine, blood plasma and blood serum, milk) of mammals (hamster, horse, bovine, sheep, pig, and dog). Amino acids were isolated using a cation exchanger and converted into their N(O)-pentafluoropropionyl (or trifluoroacetyl) amino acid 2-propyl esters. Enantiomers were separated and quantified on a Chirasil-L-Val capillary column with mass spectrometric detection using selected ion monitoring. D-Enantiomers of most protein L-amino acids were detected. Largest absolute and relative amounts in most cases were determined for D-Ser and D-Ala in urine. Stereoisomers of 2,6-diaminopimelic acid were also measured in bovine, ovine, and porcine urine. Since D-amino acids were detected in all representative classes of the major orders of Mammalia, namely Artiodactyla, Perissodactyla, Rodentia, and Carnivora, and taking reports in the literature into account, it is postulated that D-amino acids occur in all mammals.

    Notes: ---The research conducted and the discoveries during the development of chromatography are briefly surveyed, with emphasis being placed on gas chromatography. Some actors are presented who played major roles en route from Tswett's original discovery to modern separation methods. The article is based mainly on personal memories and encounters. A few examples of the participation of our country in the development of chromatography are mentioned as well as international contacts. Some remarks are made on the use of selective sorbents or selectors in modern analytical separations. The paper closes with a few comments on the “philosophy” of the discovery process.

    Notes: ---In this work a comprehensive two-dimensional system (GC×GC) was coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF/MS) for the analysis of oil samples. Group-types like the alkanes and saturated cyclic compounds (naphthenes), which are present in oil, are shown separately by selecting their unique masses. On selecting appropriate ion fragments, this method also permits the determination of sulfur- and oxygen-containing species in oil. Former results obtained by FID detection could be confirmed. After proper selection of unique ions in GC×GC-TOF both selectivity and sensitivity increase.

    Notes: ---This work describes the construction and evaluation of a simple and versatile capillary supercritical fluid chromatographic (SFC) system and its application to the analysis of liquid fuels obtained by SFE. The modular supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) system uses a syringe pump, a fused silica capillary column (100 μm i.d., coated with a 0.2-μm thick film of 5% phenylpolymethylsiloxane), a FID detector, and a high pressure injection valve with a 60-nL internal loop. Coal-derived samples were obtained by supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) of a Brazilian high-inertinite coal from Amando Simões mine, located in Paraná state (Brazil) using toluene as solvent and operating in the static mode. SFE was followed by preparative liquid chromatography fractionation into eight discrete fractions (PLC-8 method). Two of those fractions (F-2 and F-8) were used to evaluate the proposed set-up. The system described proved to be simple, easy-to-use, and versatile when used in the analysis of a range of samples from low molecular weight-low volatility (F-2) to higher molecular weight-high polarity asphaltols (F-8).

    Notes: Monolithic stationary phases have revolutionized protein chromatography because they combine speed, capacity, and resolution in a unique manner. Since such stationary phases contain no particles but only flow-through pores, the usual mass transfer restrictions to the chromatography of large molecules are not observed and extremely fast separations become possible. Recently the area of application of monolith chromatography has been extended to the separation and analysis of small molecules and plasmid DNA. This review summarizes the state of art in high performance monolith and especially high performance monolithic disk chromatography (HPMDC). The current understanding of the theory of protein HPMDC is summarized, while an introduction to the evolving field of small molecule HPMDC is attempted. The basic differences between the monolithic disks and columns packed with conventional stationary phases (including perfusion and micropellicular particles) but also monolithic columns (porous rods) are outlined. Finally, the potential of HPMDC to analytical and preparative biochromatography is demonstrated by a discussion of recent applications of chromatographic disks for protein isolation and bioprocess analysis.

    Notes: ---Molecularly imprinted continuous polymer rods are prepared inside PEEK tubes of 1 mm i. d. by an in situ preparation technique; and chiral separations on such media have been demonstrated. The miniaturized column filled with (-)-cinchonidine-imprinted or (+)-cinchonine-imprinted polymer rods based on a copolymer of 2-(trifluoromethyl)acrylic acid and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate permitted diastereoseparation of (-)-cinchonidine and (+)-cinchonine; the template molecule is retained to a greater extent than the corresponding antipode. Increasing the amount of cyclohexanol in the polymerization mixture decreased the backpressure of the resultant rod and the addition of latex beads suspended in water to the prepolymerization mixture affected the selectivity and affinity of the imprinted polymer rods. The column length is adjusted easily by cutting, thus allowing easy control of retention behavior and analysis time.

    Notes: The novel enantiomeric separation of acidic and neutral compounds by capillary electrochromatography with β-cyclodextrin-bonded positively charged polyacrylamide gels was examined. The columns used are capillaries filled with a positively charged polyacrylamide gel, a so-called monolithic stationary phase, to which allyl carbamoylated β-CD derivatives covalently bind. The capillary wall was activated first by bifunctional reagent to make the resulting gel bind covalently inside the fused-silica tubing. Enantiomeric separations of sixteen acidic and two neutral compounds were achieved using the above-mentioned columns and 200 mmol dm-3 Tris-300 mmol dm-3 boric acid buffer (pH 8.1) as a mobile phase. High efficiencies of up to 150 000 plates m-1 were obtained for dansyl-DL-amino acids. The within-run and between-run reproducibilities of retention time and separation factor were examined for three dansyl-DL-amino acids and warfarin. The relative standard deviations of the within-run and between-run reproducibilities of retention time were less than 1.2 and 1.3% over the six injections, respectively. Those of the separation factor were less than 0.3 and 0.2%, respectively. The gel-filled capillaries were stable for at least four months with intermittent use.

The stir bar is covered with 50 mg polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and the extraction mechanism is similar to that of solid phase micro extraction (SPME) but the enrichment factor is ca. 100 times higher. SBSE is followed by thermal desorption (TD)-capillary gas chromatography (CGC)-mass spectroscopy (MS). Calibration graphs for benzoic acid were linear from 1 to 1000 ppm for water and diluted soft drinks and the repeatability (n = 6) was less than 5% RSD.

    Notes: ---There is a constant drive to speed up GC separations. Shorter analysis times provide more analyses per day, which reduces cost. One approach is to reduce column length and column diameter and columns of 0.15 mm i.d. have indeed grown in popularity. However, the majority of applications are still done with 0.25 mm and 0.32 mm columns.

    Notes: ---Optimization of focused microwave (FMW)-assisted extraction of 4,4′-DDE, 4,4′-DDD, and 4,4′-DDT from soil samples was carried out using central composite designs. All the extracts were analyzed with GC/MS and some of them also with GC/AED using columns of different polarities for each of the techniques. The extraction of the analytes was carried out in two ways: with acetic acid as microwave radiation absorbent solvent and n-decane to concentrate the analytes and with reagent water and iso-octane as solvents. In the first case, the influence of the extraction temperature, the extraction time, and the addition of sodium chloride were studied and the optimum conditions for the extraction of 1 g of soil with 5 mL of acetic acid and 2 mL of n-decane were 1.30 mol L-1 sodium chloride at 98°C for 9.3 min. In the second case, the temperature was kept constant (94°C) and the influence of the concentration of sodium chloride and the extraction time were studied. The optimum conditions were 5 mL of a 2.0 mol L-1 sodium chloride together with 2 mL of iso-octane for 15 min. The recoveries obtained by water-FMW extraction were significantly lower than those obtained by the acetic acid-FMW procedure. These last recoveries were in good agreement with those obtained by closed microwave assisted-extraction with acetone-n-hexane as solvent.

    Notes: ---The writer of this review published in 1978 a three-part article on two-dimensional gas chromatography in the first three issues of this journal [1]. The review was written at a time when capillary column GC was still in its infancy. Commercial columns were (essentially) unavailable and sample introduction into capillary columns was done exclusively in the split mode. Two-dimensional separations were explored in only a few laboratories. The limitations of capillary column technology made this exercise rather difficult. The introduction of fused silica capillary columns in the early eighties drastically changed the landscape in which gas chromatography was practiced. It took the chromatographic community just a few years to convert from packed columns to capillary columns. Instrumentation and accessories specifically designed for capillary column use came onto the market. This writer had great hopes that the revolution in capillary column GC would be mirrored in the development of instrumentation for Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. This never materialized. On the contrary, tentative steps taken by a few manufacturers and suppliers of chromatographic equipment fizzled out. It was perhaps the introduction of relatively inexpensive and user friendly GC/MS instrumentation, in combination with nearly indestructible fused silica capillary columns that took away the incentive to develop commercially viable Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. Much of the thinking went like this: why insist on good chromatography if mass spectrometry can do the job without the need of complete separation. Some progress in the further development of conventional Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography has certainly been made over the last 20 years but there has not been a great deal of excitement. Applications have also been relatively sparse and they are limited to just a few areas. Science does not remain static and chromatography is no exception. Progress in gas chromatography is driven by new technology and ideas. Substantial improvements in two-dimensional GC were not forthcoming until Phillips and his research group introduced and implemented an entirely new form of Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography, called comprehensive GC×GC. This breakthrough occurred only in 1991 [2]. It does take some time before scientists change attitudes and habits. There is always a time lag between the introduction of new technology and its general acceptance. The public's attitude toward comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography is probably no exception. The number of scientists who are actively pursuing this new branch of gas chromatography is still very small. It is often a single individual who carries the torch. J.B. Phillips' name is synonymous with comprehensive Two-Dimensional Gas Chromatography. He is not only its inventor and proponent but his fertile mind has initiated research in other related areas. Sadly, he passed aware shortly before this review was written. This contribution is dedicated to his memory.

    Notes: ---A jet of cool gas is used to locally cool a section of modulator tube in the presence of the stirred oven bath of a GC×GC instrument. Local cooling decouples the temperature of the modulator tube from that of the first dimension column, which was 100 meters long. Overall resolution of the GC×GC experiment was improved as a result. Another consequence of the jet-cooled thermal modulation structure is the elimination of moving parts in the GC oven. By pulsing cold and hot jets of gas onto a modulator tube with solenoid valves, two stage thermal modulation can be obtained without the complexity of moving parts in the vicinity of the capillary columns.

    Notes: ---Comprehensive three-dimensional gas chromatography (GC3) is demonstrated using modified GC×GC apparatus. A new thermal modulation scheme employing a single moving heater to operate two thermal modulators is introduced. Considerations of the bandwidth/resolution tradeoff of GC3 show that high-speed tertiary columns would make GC3 practical, with modest loss of underlying GC×GC peak capacity.

    Notes: ---This paper investigates the separation of moderately complex samples by comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC). The analysis of peppermint (Mentha piperita) and spearmint (Mentha spicata) essential oil components, including acetates, alcohols, furans, ketones, sesquiterpenes, and terpenes, was achieved by one-dimensional gas chromatography with quadrupole mass spectrometry detection (GC/MSD) and GC×GC with flame ionization detection. Peppermint essential oil was found to contain 89 identifiable peaks by GC×GC compared to 30 peaks in the GC/MSD chromatogram. Likewise, 68 peaks were found in the GC×GC chromatogram of spearmint (compared to 28 in GC/MSD). Plots of the first dimension versus second dimension retention times provided a fingerprint of the two essential oils, which revealed 52 similar compounds between the two essential oils as opposed to 18 matches by 1D GC.

    Notes: ---A series-coupled ensemble of two capillary GC columns of different selectivity with an adjustable pressure at the column junction point is used to obtain tunable selectivity for high-speed GC and GC/TOFMS. An electronic pressure controller with a 0.1-psi step size is used to obtain numerous computer-selected unique selectivities. System configurations for conventional, atmospheric-pressure outlet operation with flame ionization detection and for vacuum-outlet operation with photoionization detection are described for GC-only experiments. Polydimethylsiloxane is used as the non-polar column and polyethylene glycol (atmospheric outlet) or triflouropropylpolysiloxane (vacuum outlet) is used as the polar column. For GC/TOFMS experiments, 5% phenyl polydimethylsiloxane was used as the non-polar column, and polyethylene glycol was used as the polar column. The time-of-flight mass spectrometer can acquire up to 500 complete mass spectra per second. Since spectral continuity is achieved across the entire chromatographic peak profile, severely overlapping peaks can be spectrally deconvoluted for high-speed characterization of completely unknown mixtures. For mixture components with significantly different fragmentation patterns, spectral deconvolution can be achieved for chromatographic peak separations of as little as 6.0 ms. This can result is very large peak capacity for time compressed (not completely resolved) chromatograms. The use of columns with tunable selectivity allows for precise peak-position control, which can result in more efficient utilization of available peak capacity and thus further time compression of chromatograms. The limits of tunability and deconvolution are tested for near co-elutions of different classes of hydrocarbon compounds as well as for more multi-functional mixtures.

    Notes: Abstract This study is aimed at detecting gastrointestinal sounds (GIS) and correlating their characteristics with gastrointestinal (GI) conditions. The central hypotheses are that GIS generation depends on the motility patterns and the mechanical properties of the gut, and that changes in those result in measurable differences in GIS. An animal model which included both healthy rats and those with small bowel obstruction (SBO) was developed. The acoustic bursts, of GIS were detected by amplitude thresholding the signal envelope. Three methods of envelope estimation were proposed and evaluated. Envelope estimation using a Hilbert transform was found to produce the best results in the current application. The duration and dominant frequency of each detected GIS event was estimated and clear differences between healthy and diseased rats were discovered. In the control state, GIS events were found to consistently be of relatively short duration (3–65ms). Although the majority of events in the SBO state had similar short duration, infrequent longer events were also detected and appeared to be pathognomonic. Long duration events (〉100 ms) occurred in each of seven obstructed, but in none of 14 non-obstructed, cases (p〈0.001). It is concluded that GIS analysis may prove useful in the non-invasive, rapid, and accurate diagnosis of SBO.

    Notes: ---The need for two-dimensional gas chromatography is justified by the extent of peak overlap in one-dimensional gas chromatograms (GCs) of complex mixtures. Such overlap was predicted long ago by statistical-overlap theory (SOT). In this paper, SOT is conceptually reviewed and its predictions are shown to be quantitatively accurate. GCs of complex mixtures of polychlorinated biphenyls, pyridine- and nitrogen-containing polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons, tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans, fatty acid methyl esters, flavors and fragrances, and naphtha were simulated by commercial GC software on DB-1, DB-5, and Stabilwax stationary phases. The numbers of peak maxima in the GCs agreed with predictions of SOT, when the interval of time between successive peaks of pure compounds was described by Poisson statistics. This agreement was realized even though the time intervals actually are deterministic, not statistical. In addition, the numbers of mixture components were predicted with accuracy by regression of peak numbers against SOT. Similar regressions have been reported before, but the theory used here is more sophisticated and its predictions consequently are more accurate. Future directions for finalizing SOT are suggested.

    Notes: ---The enantioselectivity of three batches of octakis-(2,3,6-tri-O-ethyl)-γ-cyclodextrin (TEG-CD), which differed significantly in their degree of ethylation, is reported for toxaphene congeners. The cyclodextrin composition was determined by high performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry. Columns prepared with almost fully ethylated cyclodextrin showed no enantiomer separation. Increasing the average number of free OH groups up to an optimum of 3.8 allowed to resolve the following toxaphene congeners into enantiomers: Parlar no. 11, 12, 15, 21, 25, 32, 38, 42.1, 42.2, 50, 51, 56, 58, 59, 62, 69 as well as B8-1412. More free OH groups did not improve the enantiomer resolution. The structure of the polysiloxane used for dilution of TEG-CD also had an influence on the enantiomer separations achieved. Compared to OV 1701-OH, the use of PS 086 significantly improved the enantiomer resolutions of the separated congeners. However, neither increasing the column length nor the cyclodextrin amount in the stationary phase led to better separation results.

    Notes: ---A simple and rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the separation and determination of 4-amino-azobenzene-4′,5-disulfonic acid (AABDS) and its process-related impurities was developed. The separation was achieved on a μ-Bondapak C18 column using 0.15 M ammonium sulfate-acetonitrile (55:45) (v/v) as eluent. A UV-visible spectrophotometric detector fixed at 386 nm was used both for detection and quantitation. The method was used not only for quality assurance but also for process development and wastewater management of AABDS.

    Notes: ---Fatty acids (FAs) and fatty acid residues are generally methylated and analyzed by GC. The reasons for this are partly historic and partly because of the sensitivity advantage of flame ionization detection over UV absorption by the carboxylic acid functionality in saturated FAs. However, for strongly absorbing unsaturated acids such as the conjugated linoleic acids (CLAs), the sensitivity advantage is greatly reduced. Hence there seems little reason to waste time and introduce errors associated with methylation. Remarkably, this appears not to have been recognized. In this paper we describe our method development for the analysis of underivatized CLAs by silver ion HPLC separation on the ChromSpher Lipids column. Using mobile phases previously optimized for the analysis of the methylated CLAs, retention is excessive and a competing acid is required. Various combinations of small concentrations of acetic acid (3.0-2.5%) with acetonitrile (0.0-0.025%), respectively, yield similar resolution and run times. As well as its role as a competing acid, acetic acid acts as a general strong solvent and thus can be used alone as a modifier (without acetonitrile). However, for slightly shorter run times a mobile phase of 2.5% acetic acid and 0.025% acetonitrile was chosen as the optimum mobile phase for analysis. The separation of the free CLAs is clearly superior to those previously published and obtained in this study for the methylated CLAs. The additional specific strong interactions of the underivatized CLAs seem certain to be due to hydrogen bonding between the CLA carboxylic acid functionality and the large number of residual silanols on the surface of the silica support of the stationary phase.

    Notes: ---A new reciprocal π-basic chiral stationary phase (CSP) was designed based on the reciprocity conception of chiral recognition and prepared starting from (S)-leucine. The CSP thus prepared was applied in resolving various π-acidic N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino amides and esters and found to be very effective. Especially, N-(3,5-dinitrobenzoyl)-α-amino N,N-dialkyl amides were resolved very well on the new reciprocal CSP. From the chromatographic resolution results and based on the reciprocity conception of chiral recognition with the aid of Corey/Pauling/Koltan (CPK) molecular model studies, a chiral recognition mechanism which utilizes π-π interaction and simultaneously two hydrogen bonding interactions between the CSP and the analyte has been proposed. The CSP prepared in this study was also successful in resolving 3,5-dinitrophenylcarbamate derivatives of 2-hydroxycarboxylic acid esters.

    Notes: ---The potential of the on-line coupling of microcolumn liquid chromatography (μLC) using aqueous eluents with a flame ionization detector (FID) was evaluated. An eluent-jet interface was modified to allow the efficient introduction of the eluent into the FID. The potential of the method is demonstrated by the μLC-FID determination of lower alcohols and bis(2-hydroxyethylthio)alkanes on porous and non-porous stationary phases, respectively. Flow injection analysis (FIA)-FID experiments with highly polar, thermolabile, semi-volatile and non-volatile compounds like amino acids, organic acids, alkylphosphonic acids, and carbohydrates showed the developed configuration to be a promising approach for the detection of a wide range of analytes. Compared with a nebulization interface, the eluent-jet interface showed 4-10 times higher peaks for citric acid. Detection limits by FIA for all compounds were in the range of 0.2-5 ng injected. With ribose as test compound, plots of peak height vs. amount injected showed good linearity (r2 〉 0.999) in the range of 75-12,000 μg/mL. The repeatability showed relative standard deviations of less than 5%.

    Notes: ---The influence of cationic and anionic surfactants and short-chain alcohols in the mobile phase on the retention of five antioxidants has been studied. The solutes chosen were butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT), and propyl, octyl, and dodecyl gallates (PG, OG, DG).The surfactants were hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), and n-propanol (PrOH) was the selected alcohol. A simple isocratic reversed-phase method for the antioxidant determination is proposed. Separation of five primary antioxidants takes 18 min with the mobile phase SDS 0.10 M/H3PO4 0.01 M/PrOH 30%. Variation of the percentage of alcohol in the mobile phase permits optimization of the retention times of the antioxidants. Detection limits in the pg range were obtained for the all solutes. The method was used to determine the antioxidants in olive oil at three different levels, giving mean recoveries close to 100% for all the solutes (BHA 102%, PG 99%, OG 99%, DG 99%) except BHT (84%).

The standard fatty acid methyl esters from 16 to 22 carbons were analyzed by LC-MS with APCI. The effect of orifice voltage and total carbon atoms versus number of double bonds in each homologue on the mass spectra is discussed. The correction coefficients for homologues from saturated fatty acids to hexaenoic acid are also mentioned.

    Notes: ---Capillary electrophoresis is used as a means of cation separation for cationic speciation analysis. Acceptable separation of ferrous and ferric iron was achieved by using a mixed complexing agent run buffer which gave stable species in solution. These iron species, and total iron, were determined simultaneously in certified reference materials with a single digestion step. A variety of digestion techniques were compared, primarily for their non-oxidative capabilities in order to preserve the oxidation state of iron in the mineral samples. The most favorable recoveries resulted from a continuous flow nitrogen purge technique. Total iron levels obtained from the CE method were compared with those determined by two spectroscopic techniques, with similar results obtained using the different instrumental methods.

    Notes: ---A simple technique is described for the routine capillary electrophoretic determination of organic acids in wine samples. Several aromatic and non-aromatic compounds, including phthalic acid, benzoic acid, sorbic acid, boric acid, and phosphate, were evaluated as background electrolytes in order to obtain the highest resolution and detection sensivity. Factors that affect capillary electrophoretic separation such as the concentration and pH of the background electrolyte (BGE), the concentration of the electroosmotic flow modifier (EOF), and methanol addition to the electrolyte were investigated systematically. Tartaric, malic, succinic, acetic, and lactic acids were determined simultaneously in approximately six minutes using an electrolyte containing 3 mM phosphate and 0.5 mM myristyltrimethylammonium bromide (MTAB) as electroosmotic flow modifier at pH 6.5. This method is quantitative, with recoveries in the 90-102% range and linear up to 50 mg L-1. The precision is better than 1% and the procedure shows the appropriate sensibility, with detection limits between 0.015 and 0.054 mg L-1. The proposed method was successfully employed for the determination of organic acids in wine samples by direct sample injection after appropriate dilution and filtration.

    Notes: A quinine-derived chiral anion-exchange stationary phase was used for the direct high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of the enantiomers of the N-protected unusual β-substituted α-amino acids, β-methylphenylalanine, β-methyltyrosine, β-methyltryptophan, and β-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline-3-carboxylic acid. The readily prepared 2,4-dinitrophenyl and tert-butyloxycarbonyl derivatives were well separated, and in most cases the separation of all four stereoisomers of these β-methyl-α-amino acids could be obtained in one chromatographic run. The elution sequences of the enantiomers of the different derivatives were determined and revealed a dependence on the type of the N-protecting group. In this context, the effects of different protecting groups (acetyl, tert-butyloxycarbonyl, benzoyl, 3,5-dinitrobenzoyl, benzyloxycarbonyl, 3,5-dinitrobenzyloxycarbonyl, 2,4-dinitrophenyl, and 9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl) on the chromatographic behavior were investigated.

    Notes: ---A fast high-performance liquid chromatography method was used for analysis of prominent flavan-3-ols and flavonols in vegetables. Gradient elution with phosphoric acid-acetonitrile mixtures and phosphoric acid-methanol mixtures allowed fast and complete separation of the studied phenolic compounds within analysis times less than 10 min. The development of two elution gradients using methanol and acetonitrile as modifiers proved to be an excellent approach for the verification of the real polyphenolic composition in vegetables samples because the two optimized methods allowed the separation of the same number of compounds in the same elution order. Diode-array detection was employed for the provisional identification of phenolic compounds that were not available as standards. We preferred methanol as a modifier because it was less toxic and cheaper than acetonitrile. Detection limits ranged between 0.12 and 0.59 μg mL-1. High recoveries of phenolics from fresh vegetables were measured in all studied cases, independent of the phenolic structure, matrix, and vegetable in question. High levels of procyanidins between 150 and 450 mg kg-1 were found in all studied vegetables. Quantification of quercetin and kaempferol glycosides was only possible in marrow and onion, respectively.

    Notes: ---Statistical evaluation of linear and quadratic models of chromatographic retention was performed. The relationships describing retention were derived for a set of 23 carefully selected test analytes chromatographed on 18 HPLC columns using methanol-water or acetonitrile-water solutions as mobile phase. It was ascertained whether the square term in the quadratic model improves the description of chromatographic retention in a statistically significant manner. It was also checked whether the retention data extrapolated to a hypothetical neat water eluent (log kw) obtained with the two models and the two organic modifiers are equivalent or should be considered different. The research proved that both models yield similar results and the extrapolated log kw values do not differ statistically significantly in the case of methanol-containing mobile phases. In the case of acetonitrile-water systems the log kw values obtained with linear and quadratic models are normally statistically different. Correlation analysis for log kw vs. log P parameters was performed for data determined on six columns. The best correlations were achieved employing log kw data derived with the linear model for methanol/water systems.

    Notes: ---Lignite briquettes with different sulfur contents were burned in a common type of domestic heating system. The levels of polycyclic aromatic sulfur heterocycles (PASH, thiaarenes) and their alkylated and phenylated derivatives in the flue gas were determined. The analytical method described comprises isokinetic sampling, GC/full scan-MS for screening analysis, HPLC/wavelength programmable fluorescence detection (selected PAHs used as internal standards for GC), GC/atomic emission detection or GC/pulsed flame photometric detection (sulfur-selective detection of thiaarenes), GC/high resolution MS (verification and quantification of thiaarenes), and the determination of the gas chromatographic retention indices. In total 57 thiaarene species (individual compounds if possible and groups of isomeric compounds such as alkylated/phenylated species) were identified, their retention indices determined, and quantified as flue gas emission concentrations. Not only thiophene-related thiaarenes but also species with two sulfur atoms in the molecule (e. g. thienothiophene derivatives) were found. The thiaarene emission pattern is discussed, as is the correlation between the thiaarene emissions and the sulfur content of the different briquette types burned.

    Notes: ---In order to understand the flavor of foods a multitude of scientific investigations have been carried out and a number of analytical tools for flavor research developed in the last few decades. Initially, scientific investigations focused mainly on the identification of all compounds that could contribute to the flavor. Olfactory GC techniques permitted the division of identified volatiles into odor-active and non-odor-active. Many techniques were developed to enhance the quality and the information content of the flavor results. Since the early 1990s, analytical investigations have dealt with interactions between food matrices and flavor compounds and the human influence on the retardation of odorants. New analytical methods concentrate on the headspace of the sample by using static or dynamic headspace analysis, or deal with measurements of volatile release in the mouth by a novel nose sampler and oral vapor GC. These useful tools clarify the effects of breathing, chewing, and saliva flow on flavor release. Though the human nose performs well at low concentrations of odorants, it is a medium-term aim to replace the use of the human nose by analytical techniques. Future investigations will probably deal with the interactions of odorants and the human receptors and it is mainly these receptors that will play a key role in aroma research. By analysis of the effects of odorants on the receptors the mechanisms of odor perception will be elucidated. This will enable the development of supporting analytical tools like electronic noses that really do function as noses, or “neural networks”.

    Notes: ---A new MEKC method has been developed to determine the amount of the phytoalexin, scoparone, in Citrus roots. The separation and analysis was achieved with a running buffer of 100 mM SDS, 25 mM phosphate and 12% (v/v) methanol pH 6.2. Separation was performed at 12 kV with 25°C and UV detection at 200 nm. A near complete recovery of scoparone was obtained with the extraction procedure. The MEKC method was compared with a fluorescence TLC method. The detection limit for scoparone with the MEKC method (2 μg/mL) was better than the TLC method (10 μg/mL).

    Notes: ---The chemometric method referred to as the generalized rank annihilation method (GRAM) is used to improve the precision, accuracy, and resolution of comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography (GC×GC) data. Because GC×GC signals follow a bilinear structure, GC×GC signals can be readily extracted from noise by chemometric techniques such as GRAM. This resulting improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) and detectability is referred to as bilinear signal enhancement. Here, GRAM uses bilinear signal enhancement on both resolved and unresolved GC×GC peaks that initially have a low S/N in the original GC×GC data. In this work, the chemometric method of GRAM is compared to two traditional peak integration methods for quantifying GC×GC analyte signals. One integration method uses a threshold to determine the signal of a peak of interest. With this integration method only those data points above the limit of detection and within a selected area are integrated to produce the total analyte signal for calibration and quantification. The other integration method evaluated did not employ a threshold, and simply summed all the data points in a selected region to obtain a total analyte signal. Substantial improvements in quantification precision, accuracy, and limit of detection are obtained by using GRAM, as compared to when either peak integration method is applied. In addition, the GRAM results are found to be more accurate than results obtained by peak integration, because GRAM more effectively corrects for the slight baseline offset remaining after the background subtraction of data. In the case of a 2.7-ppm propylbenzene synthetic sample the quantification result with GRAM is 2.6 times more precise and 4.2 times more accurate than the integration method without a threshold, and 18 times more accurate than the integration method with a threshold. The limit of detection for propylbenzene was 0.6 ppm (parts per million by mass) using GRAM, without implementing any sample preconcentration prior to injection. GRAM is also demonstrated as a means to resolve overlapped signals, while enhancing the S/N. Four alkyl benzene signals of low S/N which were not resolved by GC×GC are mathematically resolved and quantified.

    Notes: Comprehensive gas chromatography is the realization of true continuous multidimensional (dual column) gas chromatography. The key requirement in the comprehensive GC experiment is that the second dimension analysis is completed in a rapid time-frame compared to the elution of components in the first dimension, and that the two coupled dimensions represent ‘orthogonal’ analyses towards the analytes to be separated. The former normally necessitates pulsing of contiguous segments of each chromatographic band from the first to the second dimensions. The two dimensions should be in fluid communication. The comprehensive GC×GC experiment passes all the column flow from the first column to the second column, leading to no sample loss, but this also requires a suitable method for time- or zone-compression of the band to be pulsed to the second column. The final pulse should be narrow, and should be delivered to the second column quickly. A simple procedure can achieve this using the cryogenic modulator that has been recently described by this group. The system uses a cryogenic trap which can be moved away from the cooled zone of the column faster than 10 ms. A fast-acting pneumatic ram achieves this performance. The cooled column heats up to the prevailing oven temperature within 10-15 ms. Molecules as volatile as C5 alkanes or small aromatics will be fully retained by the trap within the period of modulation used for GC×GC. The technique is simple to implement and requires no special column connections. Using a gas chromatograph which allows control of external events and can acquire from a detector at 50 Hz or faster, and a timing controller for modulation, the comprehensive result can easily and effectively be achieved.

    Notes: ---LC retention data have been measured using various stationary phases with an emphasis on highly polar to moderately polar neutral organic compounds having octanol-water partition coefficients (Kow) in log units between 0 and 3. The relationships between the retention factor measured in water and the octanol-water partition coefficient are linear but with different slopes for octadecyl (C18) silicas, and two polystyrene divinylbenzene (PS-DVB) phases with low and high surface areas. These relationships confirm that highly cross-linked polymers can provide more than 1000-times higher retention values than C18 silicas for moderately polar analytes but close values for highly polar ones. They also explain why C18 silicas and polymers are equivalent for the separation of very polar analytes. In contrast, due to a different retention mechanism, no relation exists between the retention shown by porous graphitic carbons (PGC) and analyte hydrophobicity, but highly polar analytes are in general much more strongly retained than by any other sorbent. The potential of PGC for both the extraction and the separation of analytes is shown. Due to the difference in separation mechanism, PGC is the analytical phase that should be used for confirmation of the identity of analytes instead of a cyanopropylsilica column as recommended in some environmental procedures. Applications are presented for the trace-determination of triazines and polar degradation products in ground and surface water with detection limits below the 0.1 μg/L level.

    Notes: ---The possibility of using a piece of gas chromatographic capillary column as a tubular denuder for isolation and enrichment of organic pollutants present in air was studied. The partition coefficients (Kfs) of typical organic pollutants (benzene, chlorobenzene, toluene) between the gaseous phase and the denuder sorption layer were determined and effects of analyte concentration in the gaseous phase and gas flow rate on partitioning were studied. The partition coefficients were found to be constant in the studied range of concentration and gaseous mixture flow rate. A piece of a capillary column coated with polydimethylosiloxane can be used as a tubular denuder.

    Notes: ---A new sampling technique, Headspace Sorptive Extraction (HSSE), is here applied for the first time to the headspace sampling of medicinal and aromatic plants. The analyte partition coefficient between HSSE-PDMS stir bar and sample headspace (K1), the concentration factor (CF), the reproducibility, and the minimum recoverable amount were determined by analyzing standard solution of high volatility C5-C7 compounds with different polarities and structures (cyclohexane, propyl acetate, hexanal, 1-hexen-3-ol, isoamyl acetate, and 2-heptanol). Four aromatic and medicinal plants, viz. rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.), sage (Salvia officinalis L.), thyme (Thymus vulgaris L.), and valerian (Valeriana officinalis L.) were analyzed by HSSE-GC with PDMS stir bars, and their concentration capacity was compared with those of S-HS and HS-SPME with different fibers. HSSE showed very high concentration capability with both standard and real sample components.

    Notes: ---Static and dynamic headspace sampling have been applied for the enrichment of volatiles emitted by living plants. For solid phase microextraction (SPME) the sorptive fibers polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyacrylate (PA) have been compared and, in accordance with the like-like principle, polar compounds exhibit more affinity for the PA fiber while apolar solutes favor the PDMS fiber. For dynamic sampling, tubes packed with PDMS particles show greater inertness than Tenax; some Tenax decomposition products, e.g. benzaldehyde and acetophenone, interfere with the analyses. With PDMS particles operated in the breakthrough mode, the obtained profiles are similar to those obtained by SPME on the PA fiber. Recoveries relative to a packed PDMS bed are 85% for Tenax, 2.4% for SPME-PDMS, and 6.2% for SPME-PA.

    Notes: Summary 1. Jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were perfused with hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic buffered solutions containing 14C-labelled benzoic acid and salicylic acid at pH 6.2 and 2.2. The blood flow of the loop was maintained at an intermediate rate (0.78–0.97 ml min−1 g−1). The water net flux was determined by polyethylene glycol as non-absorbable marker and amounted up to +31 or-27 μl min−1 g−1. 2. A positive water net flux (leaving the gut lumen) increased the appearance rate of benzoic acid and salicylic acid in the intestinal venous blood by maximally 47 and 41%, a negative water net flux (entering the gut lumen) diminished the appearance rate by 28 and 37%. 3. The experimental data were analysed by means of a kinetic model. The parameters of the model were the epithelial permeability kF D , the serosal permeability k S F S and the sieving coefficient Φ=1−σ. The epithelial permeability was 0.115 and 0.107 for benzoic acid and salicylic acid at pH 6.2 and increased to 0.163 and 0.185 ml min−1 g−1 at pH 2.2. The serosal permeability was assumed to be identical for neutral and acidic pH and amounted to 0.046 and 0.112 ml min−1 g−1 indicating that a certain proportion of the absorbed drugs was transferred to the serosal side. The sieving coefficient was 2.92 and 2.31 at neutral pH and 3.79 and 3.56 at acidic pH. 4. The main resistance to the absorption of the two drugs is the epithelial membrane, since the effective blood flow and the unstirred layer are not ratelimiting. The high sieving coefficient for the two drugs is interpreted as indicating an interaction of drug and water molecules inside the lipid part of the cell membrane (which contains at least 30% water). The electric potential across the gut wall may contribute to the size of the sieving coefficient, if the drug molecules permeate also in the ionized form. 5. Using acidic perfusion solutions the epithelial permeability and the sieving coefficient were increased by the factor 1.3–1.5. This increase can be explained sufficiently by a facilitated entrance of the unionized drug molecules into the epithelial membrane.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Orale Verabfolgung von rhyolithischem Bims bewirkt eine herabgesetzte Retention von Thallium in den Geweben. Die Wirksamkeit von Rhyolith zeigt eine ausgeprägte Dosisabhängigkeit, ist aber geringer als die von Ferrihexacyanoferrat (II).
    Notes: Summary Oral administration of rhyolith leads to a diminished retention of thallium by the tissues. The effectiveness of rhyolith markedly depends on its dosage, but is surpassed by that of ferrihexacyanoferrate (II).

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die renale Ausscheidung von D-Penicillamin läßt sich weder durch Probenecid noch durch N-Methylnicotinamid oder NH4Cl beeinflussen. Acetazolamid bewirkt eine erhöhte Retention von D-Penicillamin in Haut und Muskulatur und hemmt dessen renale Ausscheidung, hat jedoch keinen Effekt auf die Dekorporationswirksamkeit von D-Penicillamin bei60Co. Die möglichen Ursachen des Einflusses von Acetazolamid auf die Verteilung und Exkretion von D-Penicillamin werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The renal excretion of D-penicillamine is not influenced by probenecid, N-methylnicotinamide, and NH4Cl. Acetazolamide brings about an increased retention of D-penicillamine in skin and muscles and lowers its urinary excretion, but does not exhibit any influence on the efficacy of D-penicillamine in removing internally deposited60Co. The possible causes for the action of acetazolamide on the distribution and excretion of D-penicillamine are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Durch eine 5/6-Nierenparenchymreduktion wurde an Ratten ein chronisches, durch bilaterale Nephrektomie ein akutes urämisches Syndrom erzeugt. Beim chronischen urämischen Syndrom erwiesen sich in der Serumanalyse die Konzentrationen des Harnstoffstickstoffs und des Kreatinins als wesentlich erhöht. Darüber hinaus bestanden alle chemischen Zeichen eines sekundären Hyperparathyreoidismus. Die Tiere litten außerdem an einer schweren Poly-, Protein- und Albuminurie. Überraschenderweise war aber der Spiegel des totalen Serumproteins gegenüber den Kontrolltieren erhöht. Das experimentelle chronische urämische Syndrom stellt eine extreme Adaptation der regulatorischen Aktivität des Nierenrestparenchyms und des ganzen Organismus dar. Beim akuten, durch bilaterale Nephrektomie erzeugten urämischen Syndrom besteht dagegen ein schweres Versagen der Regulation des Wasser- und Elektrolytstoffwechsels, welches innert 50–60 Std zum Tode der Versuchstiere führt.
    Notes: Summary A chronic uremic syndrome was induced by 5/6 nephrectomy and an acute uremic syndrome by bilateral nephrectomy in rats. In the chronic uremic syndrome serum and urine analysis revealed a highly increased serum level of BUN and creatinine. Furthermore, all chemical signs typical of secondary hyperparathyroidism were present. The animals suffered from severe polyuria, protein- and albuminuria but, surprisingly, the total serum protein was increased. The experimental chronic uremic syndrome is, in essence, a syndrome of “extreme adaptation” of the regulatory activity of remnant renal parenchyma and of the whole body. In contrast, the acute uremic syndrome induced by bilateral nephrectomy is a severe disorder of water and electrolyte metabolism resulting in death of the experimental animals after 50–60 hrs.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 24 Std nach i.v. Injektion von 100 mg/kg eines Pentosanschwefelsäureesters (SP 54) sind in der Nierenrinde von Ratten schwere degenerative Veränderungen der proximalen Tubuluszellen zu beobachten. Das Tubulusepithel ist flachkubisch umgewandelt, das Tubuluslumen ist angefüllt mit ausgestoßenen Mitochondrien und anderen Zelltrümmern. Am stärksten betroffen ist die Pars contorta des proximalen Tubulus. Weniger stark veränderte Tubuluszellen sind angefüllt mit Cytosomen, die eine spezifische Feinstruktur haben oder gehäuft gegenüber Kontrollen Cytoplasmaprotrusionen in das Tubuluslumen aufweisen. Die akute Tubulusdegeneration ist ein spezifischer Effekt von SP 54. Heparin bewirkt nur eine leichte Schwellung des Tubulusepithels, die häufiger auftritt als bei Kontrolltieren.
    Notes: Summary 24 hrs after the intravenous injection of 100 mg/kg of a Pentosansulfuricacidester (SP 54) severe degenerative alterations are observed in the proximal tubular cells in rat kidney cortex. The tubular epithelium has changed to a single layer of elongated cubic cells. The tubular lumen is filled with cellular debris and extruded mitochondria. The greatest change is seen in the pars contorta of the proximal tubule. Less degenerated tubular cells have a great number of cytosomes with a specific substructure or have cytoplasmatic protrusions into the tubular lumen. This acute tubular degeneration is a specific event after the administration of SP 54 and is not seen after an equimolar dosis of Heparin. Heparin induces only a slight swelling of the tubular epithelium, more frequent seen as in the control animals.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Wir untersuchten den Einfluß der Koprophagie auf den Calciumstoffwechsel der Ratte. 20 Versuchstiere wurden durch Einschnüren in einen Lederpanzer an der Koprophagie gehindert und mit 21 Kontrolltieren gleicher Futteraufnahme verglichen. Die Kinetik des Calciumstoffwechsels wurde unter Verwendung von45Ca als Tracer analysiert. Die radiochemischen Resultate wurden mit den histologischen Beobachtungen an den Epi-Metaphysen der Kniegelenke verglichen. Bei den Versuchstieren mit verhinderter Koprophagie fanden wir: 1. ein hochsignifikant niedrigeres Körpergewicht; 2. eine hochsignifikante Verkleinerung folgender Parameter des Calciumstoffwechsels: Compartmentgröße und Austauschrate zwischen ihnen, Calciumausscheidungsraten, Knochenan- und -abbau; 3. eine Verschmälerung der Wachstumsfuge, verkürzte und verschmälerte primäre Knochenbälkchen, verminderte sekundäre metaphysäre Spongiosa. Bei 4 Versuchstieren, die in Lederpanzern gehalten, denen jedoch die Koprophagie ermöglicht war, wurden gleichartige histologische Veränderungen wie bei verhinderter Koprophagie festgestellt. Es wird gefolgert, daß die Verhinderung der Koprophagie keinen meßbaren Einfluß auf die Parameter des Calciumstoffwechsels hat.
    Notes: Summary We investigated the influence of coprophagy on the calcium metabolism of the rat. 20 experimental animals were prevented from coprophagy by wrapping them in leather harnesses and compared with 21 controls on the same food intake. Kinetics of calcium metabolism were analysed using45Ca as tracer. The radiochemical results were compared with the histological observations in the epi-metaphyses of the knee joints. In the experimental animals prevented from coprophagy we found: 1. a highly significant lower body weight; 2. a highly significant diminution of the following parameters of calcium metabolism: compartment sizes and exchange rate between them, calcium excretion rates, bone accretion and resorption; 3. a narrower epiphyseal growth cartilage, clearly shorter and narrower primary trabeculae, rarefied secondary metaphyseal trabeculae. Histological alterations identical to those observed with coprophagy prevented, were found in 4 animals kept in harnesses but with coprophagy allowed. It is concluded that prevention of coprophagy has no measurable influence on the parameters of calcium metabolism.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei männlichen Wistarratten wurde eine trunkuläre beiderseitige Vagotomie — ergänzt durch eine Pyloroplastik — angelegt. 4 Wochen später erfolgte in Urethannarkose eine Perfusion des Magens mit 0,9%iger NaCl-Lösung in Anlehnung an die Versuchsanordnung von Ghosh. Die Vollständigkeit der Vagotomie bestätigte ein Hypoglykämietest. Im Abstand von 150 min erhielten die Tiere — in 6 Gruppen zu je 10 Ratten — 2 × 50, 100, 150, 200, 250 oder 300 µg/kg KG Pentagastrin subcutan. Die statistisch ausgewerteten Ergebnisse lassen sich wie folgt zusammenfassen: 1. Die nach dem Abklingen der Wirkung der ersten Pentagastrininjektion wiederholte Pentagastringabe in derselben Dosis ergab bei allen Dosierungen eine höhere Säuresekretion als nach der ersten Injektion. 2. Ein Maximum der sezernierten Säuremenge wurde bei einer Dosis von 100 µg/kg KG erreicht. Bei höherer Dosierung des Pentagastrins nahm die Menge der sezernierten Säure signifikant ab.
    Notes: Summary Male Wistar rats were subjected to a complete bilateral vagotomy and a pyloroplasty. 4 weeks later followed in urethane anesthesia a continuous perfusion of the stomach with 0.9% saline according to the rat preparation of Ghosh. The completeness of the gastric vagotomy was confirmed by a postoperative insulin test. In an interval of 150 min the rats — in 6 groups of 10 rats each — were two times injected pentagastrin subcutaneously in dose rates of 50, 100, 150, 250 or 300 µg/kg body weight. The statistical confirmed results can be summarized as followed: 1. The second injection of pentagastrin — 150 min after the first — in the same dose produced a significantly higher gastric acid secretion in the rat all dose rates in comparison to the first injection. 2. The maximal gastric acid secretion was produced by a dose rate of 100 µg/kg body weight of pentagastrin. At higher dose rates of pentagastrin there was a significant reduction of gastric acid secretion.

    Notes: Summary The vascular surface of the external layer of the median eminence is composed of neuronal and glial processes. Neuro-vascular contacts are supposed to be necessary for the release of hypophysiotropic neurohormones. The present study confirms the hypothesis that the relative extent of neuro-vascular and glio-vascular contacts varies under different functional conditions of the tubero-hypophysial system. Morphometric analysis shows that in normal rats about 20% of the surface is lined by neuro-vascular contacts. After bilateral adrenalectomy the neuro-vascular contacts are enlarged to 40% whereas application of an extract of stalk-median eminence tissue is followed by a decrease of the neuro-vascular contacts to 15%. The implications of these results are discussed.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Gehirne embryonaler und neugeborener Ratten wurden im Hinblick auf die frühe Entstehung der Basalmembranlabyrinthe licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. 1. An den Hirngefäßen embryonaler Ratten der 2. und 3. Fetalwoche kommen zwar bereits Basalmembranen vor, sub- oder interependymale Basalmembranlabyrinthe fehlen aber noch. 2. Basalmembranlabyrinthe werden mit der Perjodsäure-Bisulfit-Aldehydthionin-Methode lichtmikroskopisch ab dem 20. Tag an umschriebenen Stellen des Ventrikelsystems gefunden; elektronenmikroskopisch treten die ersten Basalmembranlabyrinthe am 12. postnatalen Tag auf. 3. Die ersten interependymalen Labyrinthe erscheinen in Erweiterung der interependymalen Spalten in der Nähe von ausgedehnten Golgifeldern. Der Labyrinthinhalt besteht aus einer feinflockigen Substanz. Diese liegt wolkenartig angehäuft gegenüber bogenförmigen Ausbuchtungen lokal verbreiterter Zellmembranen. In Ausbildung begriffene Labyrinthe zeigen eine lamelläre Gliederung. 4. Ab dem 12. postnatalen Tag treten auch an den Basalmembranen der pericapillären Zellen, in denen lichtmikroskopisch Glykoproteide nachweisbar sind, zapfenartige Duplikaturen auf. Die Zapfen sind überwiegend ependymwärts gerichtet. Verbindungen zwischen den Basalmembranzapfen und den interependymalen Basalmembranlabyrinthen werden in den ersten 30 Lebenstagen nicht gefunden. 5. Sowohl an den die interependymalen Labyrinthe begrenzenden Plasmalemmata als auch am Plasmalemm der pericapillären Zellen fallen Stachelsaumbläschen auf, deren Membran in die Zellwand eingebaut wird. Ihr Inhalt scheint in die entstehenden Labyrinthe entleert zu werden. 6. Da sich an den tubulären Enden der Doppellamellen der Dictyosomen Strukturen befinden, die den Stachelsaumbläschen morphologisch gleichen, und da im Bereich des Golgifeldes und im Cytoplasma zwischen diesem und der Zellwand zahlreiche Stachelsaumbläschen liegen, wird angenommen, daß das Material der Basalmembranlabyrinthe dem Golgiapparat entstammt und vermittels der Stachelsaumbläschen zur Zellwand transportiert wird. Bogenförmige Ausbuchtungen lokal verbreiterter Zellmembranen im Bereich entstehender Labyrinthe werden als Reste von Stachelsaumbläschen aufgefaßt, deren Membran in die Zellwand eingebaut wurde. 7. Da die phylogenetische Zunahme des Hirnmantels mit einem Verlust der langen in das Gehirn reichenden basalen Ependymfortsätze an den größten Teilen der Ventrikelwand einhergeht und niedere Tiere noch nicht über Basalmenbranlabyrinthe verfügen, wird angenommen, daß diese die Transportfunktion für Stoffe aus dem Liquor übernommen haben, die vordem nach allgemeiner Auffassung über die langen Fortsätze in das Gehirn gelangten.
    Notes: Summary The brains of embryonic and new-born rats were investigated by means of light- and electron microscopy with regard to the early formation of basement membrane labyrinths. 1. Though basement membranes are already found around the brain capillaries of embryonic rats from the 2nd week of pregnancy, sub- and interependymal basement membrane labyrinths are still absent. 2. Basement membrane labyrinths, being demonstrable for light microscopy by a periodicacid-bisulfite-aldehydethionin-method, appear around the 20th day after birth at certain places of the ventricular system. By means of electron microscopy, basement membrane labyrinths have first been detected at the 12th postnatal day. 3. The earliest interependymal basement membrane labyrinths are found in enlargements of the interependymal spaces near a distended Golgi apparatus. The contents of the labyrinths, being composed of a loose flocculent material, are of a lamellar structure. In the intercellular space the material is situated opposite bow-shaped excavations of local broadenings of cell membranes. 4. From the 12th postnatal day, plug-like duplications of basement membranes occur at the ependymal side of the pericapillar cells, which contain glycoproteids. The plugs of basement membranes are directed towards the ependymal layer. No connections between the interependymal basement membrane labyrinths and the plugs of pericapillary basement membranes exist within the first 30 days of life. 5. At the plasmalemma of ependymal cells bordering the interependymal labyrinths, and at the cell membrane of pericapillary cells, coated vesicles are to be found, which are fused with the cell membrane. The contents of these vesicles seem to be released into the developing labyrinths. 6. At the tubular ends of dictyosomes, coated vesicle-like structures can be demonstrated. In the environment of the Golgi apparatus many coated vesicles are situated; they can even be found between the Golgi apparatus and the walls of labyrinthś. Therefore the coated vesicles are considered to be transport vesicles, transporting the material which is formed in the Golgi apparatus towards the cell membrane. 7. Since the phylogenetic increase of the brain mantle is accompanied by loss of the long processes of ependymal cells that reach far into the brain, and since lower animals have no basement membrane labyrinths, it is suggested that the basement membrane labyrinths have a transport functions for material from the cerebrospinal fluid which in lower animals is assumed to be transported by the long processes of ependymal cells.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Capillaren des Subcommissuralorgans (SCO) und deren Umgebung wurden an 38 adulten Sprague-Dawley- und an 6 adulten Wistar-Ratten nach Perfusionsfixierung im Elektronenmikroskop untersucht. Saure Mucopolysaccharide wurden mit Alcianblau und Rutheniumrot, Glykoproteide mittels der Perjodsäure-Silbermethenamin-Reaktion nachgewiesen. Der Stofftransport in den Capillaren wurde mit Meerrettichperoxidase (MRP) als Tracer untersucht. Die subcommissuralen Capillaren besitzen ein ungefenstertes, vesikelarmes Endothel, das einer einfachen, durchgehenden Basallamina aufsitzt. In der Umgebung der Capillaren finden sich neben periodisch strukturierten Körpern (PSK) vereinzelt Basallamina-Labyrinthe und regellos angeordnete kollagene Mikrofibrillen. Mit der Perjodsäure-Silbermethenamin-Reaktion lassen sich Glykoproteide im Bereich der Basallamina und der nach außen anschließenden Intercellularspalten darstellen, vereinzelt auch — teils im Bereich der Basallamina, teils ihr eng angeschlossen — Gruppen parallel angeordneter, linearer Strukturen mit einem periodischen Streifenmuster. Saure Mucopolysaccharide sind nur in der lumenseitigen Glykokalyx des Capillarendothels nachweisbar. Der Aufbau der PSK aus Kollagenfilamenten erscheint sehr wahrscheinlich. Vermutungen zur Entstehung dieser hochgeordneten Strukturen werden vorgebracht. Die Traceruntersuchungen ergeben, daß unter normalen Bedingungen in den subcommissuralen Capillaren eine Blut-Hirn-Schranke (BHS) für MRP besteht, die im Endothel lokalisiert ist. Bei einem Teil der Sprague-Dawley-Ratten ist die Barriere geschädigt und der Tracer gelangt über cytopemptische Vesikel in Basallamina und Gefäßumgebung. Der Basallamina und den PSK kommt in solchen Fällen keine besondere Schranken- oder Verteilerfunktion zu. Offenbar bewirkt bei manchen Sprague-Dawley-Ratten die MRP-Injektion über die Freisetzung von endogenen biogenen Aminen aus Mastzellen eine Schädigung der BHS, was bei Wistar-Ratten nicht eintritt.
    Notes: Summary The capillaries of the subcommissural organ (SCO) and their adjacent structures of 38 adult Sprague-Dawley rats and 6 adult Wistar rats were examined in the electron microscope after perfusion fixation. Acid mucopolysaccharides were shown by Alcian Blue and Ruthenium Red, glycoproteins were identified by the periodic acid-silver methenamine technique. Horseradish peroxidase (MRP) was used as a tracer for vascular permeability. The subcommissural organ's capillaries are characterized by an unfenestrated, continuous endothelium, showing only few vesicles; the endothelium is surrounded by a single, continuous basal lamina. Adjacent to the capillaries wall there are “periodically structured bodies” (PSK), labyrinths of the basal lamina and irregularly arranged collagen fibrils. Glycoproteins are found in the basal lamina and within the intercellular clefts; in a few cases groups of parallel arranged, periodically banded linear structures are seen within or adjacent to the basal lamina. Acid mucopolysaccharides are found within the endocapillary layer of capillaries. It seems very likely that PSK represent an atypical arrangement of collagen fibrils. The formation of these structures is discussed. Under normal conditions, MRP, after intravenous injection, does not enter the perivascular space surrounding the capillaries of the SCO. A blood-brain barrier exists at the level of the capillary endothelium. In a few Sprague-Dawley rats MRP seems to alter the permeability of the capillaries. Reaction product of MRP is found within endothelial vesicles and the adjacent structures. It appears that the basal lamina and the PSK are not involved in the barrier mechanism or regulation of transport. In Sprague-Dawley rats intravenous injection of MRP seems to alter the blood-brain barrier by release of endogenous biogenic amines associated with mast cell degranulation. This effect is not observed in Wistar rats.

    Notes: Summary The posterior lobe of the hypophysis consists of neurosecretory nerve fibres and glial cells, both abutting on the perivascular space of sinusoidal capillaries. Nerve fiberes and glial cells are connected with each other by a high number of synaptoid contacts. Several ultrastructural changes following dehydration have been described by other authors. This study presents the data of some morphometric investigations on normal and dehydrated rats. The relative extent of neuro-vascular contacts is not contstant; it increases significantly from 52 (±2.8)% in normal rats to 67(±1.2)% in rats with a dehydration time of 3 days. Correspondingly the extent of glio-vascular contacts is diminished. In addition, water-deprived animals show a clear increase in the number of neuro-glial synaptoid contacts with 3.1 (±0.4) per square unit nervous tissue compared to 2.1 (±0.3) per Square unit in untreated controls. These results indicate a dynamic motility of neuronal and glial elements depending on functional conditions, as was found for the external layer of the median eminence. Furthermore there seems to be a relationship between secretory activity and the number of neuroglial synaptoid contacts.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung In der Rattenniere werden die muskelzellhaltigen arteriellen Gefäße und der juxtaglomeruläre Apparat innerviert. Blutgefäße mit Pericyten, porenhaltige Capillaren sowie die Tubuli der Rinde und des Markes werden nicht von Nervenfasern begleitet. Ganglienzellen wurden in der Rattenniere nicht beobachtet. Periphere Nerven mit einem ein-bis zweischichtigen Perineurium kommen im paravasalen Gewebe der Interlobar- und Arcuata-Arterien vor; sie enthalten neben zahlreichen marklosen Nervenfasern gewöhnlich auch 2–4 markhaltige. Nervenfaser-Bündel ohne perineurale Scheide finden sich im paravasalen Gewebe der Arcuata- und Interlobular-Arterien. Darüber hinaus sind in unmittelbarer Nachbarschaft der großen Arterien (Interlobar-, Arcuata- und Inter-lobular-arterien) und der Vasa afferentia marklose Nervenfasern und freie Axone vorhanden, die auch die proximalen Abschnitte der Vasa efferentia der subcapsulären und intermediären Rindenschicht begleiten. Im Nierenmark werden die juxtamedullären Vasa efferentia und die Arteriolae rectae innerviert; marklose Nervenfasern und freie Axone sind nur bis zur Außen-Innenstreifen-Grenze nachweisbar. Die Innervation der muskelzellhaltigen arteriellen Gefäße erfolgt durch aufgetriebene Axonabschnitte (Neuroeffektor-Zonen), die vorwiegend agranuläre Vesikel enthalten. Diese Strukturen liegen stets an der Grenze von Adventitia und Media bzw. Elastica externa; zwischen den glatten Muskelzellender Media wurden keine vesikelhaltigen Axonabschnitte gefunden. Als minimaler Abstand zwischen den vesikelhaltigen Axonabschnitten und den von einer Basalmembran umschlossenen glatten Muskelzellen (neuromuskuläre Distanz) wurden 600 Å gemessen. Die vorliegenden Ergebnisse werden mit den fluoreszenzmikroskopischen und histochemischen Untersuchungen über die adrenerge und cholinerge Innervation der Niere verglichen. Die sich aus diesem Vergleich ergebenden Probleme und funktionellen Konsequenzen für die Innervation der Niere sowie die Natur der cholinergen Fasern (afferente oder postganglionäre parasympathische Fasern) werden diskutiert.
    Notes: Summary The innervation of the rat kidney is defined by a system which supplies those arterial blood vessels whose walls contain smooth muscle cells and the juxtaglomerular apparatus. Vessels containing pericytes, or those vessels composed of an endothelium only, as well as the tubules of both the cortex and medulla, are not innervated. Furthermore, ganglion cells do not occur in the rat kidney. The nervous apparatus of the rat kidney consists of peripheral vegetative nerves, ensheathed by a perineurium, with 2–4 myelinated fibers running in the paravasal tissue of the interlobar and arcuate arteries, and of nerve bundles without a perineurial sheath in the paravasal tissue of the arcuate and interlobular arteries. Non-myelinated fibers and free axons occur in the immediate vicinity of the great arteries (interlobar, arcuate, and interlobular) and the vasa afferentia. Nerve fibers and free axons are also seen in the vicinity of only the proximal parts of those vasa efferentia which supply the cortical capillary plexus. The arteriolae rectae of the medulla, and their vasa efferentia, from which they arise, are innervated by non-myelinated fibers and free axons which accompany these arterial vessels only to the boundary of the outer and inner stripe of the outer zone of the medulla. The functional innervation of those vessels with smooth muscle cells results from neuro-effector zones which predominantly show agranular vesicles. These structures were never seen between the smooth muscle cells within the media; the minimum neuromuscular distance was 600 Å. The present findings are correlated with the lightmicroscopically demonstrated adrenergic and cholinergic innervation. The resultant problems and functional consequences of the innervation of the kidney, especially the nature of the cholinergic fibers (afferent or post-ganglionic parasympathetic fibers) are briefly discussed.

    Notes: Summay The prenatal ontogeny of the hippocampus, including the anterior continuation and induseum griseum, was examined in the rat by means of tritiated thymidine autoradiography. The neurons of the anterior continuation formed between the 16th and 18th days of embryonic development. The neurons of the induseum griseum were formed on the 16th and 17th days of gestation. The pyramidal cells of ammon's horn were formed during the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th days of embryogenesis but were preceded by the large interneurons of the stratum lacunosum-moleculare which formed on days 15 and 16 of embryonic life. The granule cells of the superficial layers of the stratum granulosum formed during the 20th, 21st, and 22nd days of gestation.

    Notes: Summary With methylene blue stain, three morphological types of motor nerve terminals were distinguished in hindlimb muscles (extensor digitorum longus, semitendinosus, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles) of rat. Type A terminals possess many long thin branches with numerous minute swellings, type C ones possess few and thick terminal branches with few large swellings, and type B ones possess intermediate characteristics. The frequencies of occurrence of these types are characteristic for each muscle and differ between different hindlimb muscles. Specifically, soleus muscle contains a much higher proportion of type B terminals than other hindlimb muscles, and the superficial part of tibialis anterior muscle contains a higher proportion of type A terminals and a lower proportion of type C ones than the deep part. The frequencies of occurrence of types A, B, and C terminals closely parallel the frequencies of “white”, “intermediate”, and “red” muscle fibers (as determined by a fat stain), respectively, in the different muscles. As also suggested previously for the diaphragm, it is concluded that three morphological types of motor nerve terminals each may innervate one of three types of muscle fibers.

    Notes: Summary In the outer layer of the rat median eminence “Gomori-positive” granules occur which are assumed to be the morphological correlate of the corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF). The present study was carried out in order to establish whether the amount of these CRF-granules is influenced by a pantothenic acid (PA)-deficiency, which is known to result in an inhibition of corticosteroid production. Female SPF Wistar rats were used. PA-deficiency was induced by PA-free nutrition and/or administration of the PA-antagonist Ω-methyl-PA. Corresponding experimental groups were given either tap water or a solution of 1% NaCl and 5% glucose in tap water to drink. In rats fed with a diet free of PA and in addition treated with Ω-methyl-PA a severe disturbance of the corticoid balance developed within 6 weeks. The corticosterone production was depressed to about 11–16% of the control values. The adrenal cortex showed necrotic changes which either involved the whole parenchyma or were confined to the inner zones. In those animals in which a subcapsular region, in its extent corresponding to the zona glomerulosa, remained intact, an augmentation of the CRF-granules was observed. In those animals, however, in which the whole adrenal cortex was damaged, the amount of CRF-granules did not increase. Administration of the 1% NaCl containing drinking fluid did not influence the augmentation of the CRF granules, but had a protective effect on the development of necrotic changes in the zona glomerulosa of the adrenal cortex. The findings show that a functional relationship exists between the inner zones of the adrenal cortex and the CRF-granules in the median eminence.

    Notes: Summary Numerous cilia have been demonstrated by SEM in cells of rat perilobular and portal bile ducts and ductules. Generally these cilia appear as long, cylindrical evaginations of the plasma membrane. Some of them are so long that, curving and twisting at many points, they cross the ductal lumen. It has been suggested that they may be related to a continual mixing up and propulsion of the bile product down the biliary tree.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Lappenbronchien (3./6.) (Durchmesser bei mittlerer Inspirationslage 500–700 μ) von männlichen und weiblichen Wistarratten wurden licht- und elektronenmikroskopisch untersucht. Diese Bronchien entsprechen im Wandbau den mittleren Bronchioli größerer Säugetiere. Freie, verzweigte lanzettförmige Terminalfasern werden im Bindegewebe der lamina propria beschrieben. Sie sind in das elastisch muskuläre System der Bronchuswand eingebaut. Die zugehörige markhaltige afferente Nervenfaser ist verzweigt und hat einen Durchmesser von 4–6 μ. Außerdem werden efferente motorische Endigungen an der glatten Bronchialmuskulatur beschrieben. Die freien lanzettförmigen und verzweigten Terminalfasern sind möglicherweise Dehnungsrezeptoren für den Hering Breuer Reflex.
    Notes: Summary In rats the 3rd to 6th bronchi, measuring 500–700 μ in diameter during inspiration, were investigated by light and electron microscopy. The histological appearance of these bronchi is comparable to that of medium sized bronchioles of larger animals. The branched and lanceolate terminals are associated with the connective tissue of the lamina propria and the smooth muscle cell layer. In this way the terminals are bound to the myoelastic system of the bronchial wall. The myelinated afferent fiber is branched and the diameter measures about 4–6 microns. Besides afferent nerve terminals these are numerous efferent endings on the smooth muscle basement laminae. It is supposed that the described receptor represents the pulmonary stretch receptor of the Hering Breuer reflex.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die Wirkung von Parachlorophenylalanin (pCPA) auf die paraganglionären Zellen und sympathischen Ganglienzellen des Ganglion cervicale superius der Ratte wurde untersucht. pCPA beeinflußt die sympathischen Nervenzellen im Ganglion cervicale superius geringgradig. Es finden sich unspezifische Veränderungen des Golgi-Apparates und der Nissl-Schollen sowie eine Zunahme von Lysosomen. Bei langdauernder Behandlung degenerieren einzelne Ganglienzellen und Nervenfasern. Die paraganglionären Zellen sind bei Kontrolltieren durch “dense core vesicles” eines einheitlichen Typs charakterisiert. Im Laufe der pCPA-Behandlung finden sich degranulierte paraganglionäre Zellen. Die Degranulation der einzelnen Zellelemente ist jedoch variabel. Bei fluorescenzmikroskopischer Untersuchung zeigt sich nach pCPA-Applikation eine Verschiebung des Fluorescenzspektrums zum grünen Bereich hin. Die bei Kontrollen deutliche Gelbkomponente nimmt nach 6–12 Tagen ab und verschwindet schließlich nach 18–20 Tagen. Es wird diskutiert, ob die fluorescenzmikroskopischen Veränderungen aufgrund einer Hemmung der Serotoninsynthese oder aufgrund einer abgeschwächten Katecholaminsynthese entstehen.
    Notes: Summary The effect of parachlorophenylalanine (pCPA) on the paraganglionic and sympathetic nerve cells of the rat superior cervical ganglion was studied. pCPA influences the sympathetic nerve cells of the cervical ganglion to minimal extent. Unspecific changes of the Golgi apparatus and of the Nissl bodies as well as an increase in the number of lysosomes occur. An extended period of treatment causes degeneration of individual ganglionic cells and nerve fibers. The paraganglionic cells in control animals are characterized by dense core vesicles of an unitary type. During pCPA treatment degranulated paraganglionic cells are to be found. The degranulation of the individual cell elements varies. Fluorescence microscopic study after pCPA application shows a shift of the fluorescence spectrum toward green. The yellow component of the control group decreases after 6 to 12 days and disappears after 18 or 20 days. It is discussed whether the fluorescence microscopic changes are due to the inhibition of serotonine synthesis or to a decrease of the catecholamine synthesis.

    Notes: Summary Wistar strain of rats received daily intraperitoneal or oral administration of Triparanol, 250 mg per kg of body weight or 20,25-diazacholesterol either 30 mg or 60 mg per kg of body weight starting at the age of 5 days old. Prominent intracytoplasmic osmiophilic inclusions identical to those found in the rats treated with AY9944 (Suzukiet al., 1973) and degeneration of myelin sheaths and oligodendroglia were seen in the myelinating white matter of rats sacrificed after 3, 6, and 9 injections of Triparanol. In diazacholesterol-treated animals, a few identical inclusions were seen in the cortical neurons but only slight changes were seen in oligodendroglia. Biochemical analysis of the brains of the rats receiving Triparanol revealed a large accumulation ofΔ 7,24-cholestadiene-3β-ol and lesser amounts of desmosterol. The brains of the animals treated with diazacholesterol revealed massive accumulation of desmosterol and a minor sterol component, probablyΔ 5,7,24-cholestatriene-3β-ol. Since AY9944, which results in a massive accumulation of 7 dehydrocholesterol (Δ 5,7-cholestadiene-3β-ol) and two other sterols,Δ 7,24-cholestadiene-3β-ol andΔ 5,7,24-cholestatriene-3β-ol, will produce identical neuropathological lesions to those seen in Triparanol treated animals, and since the lesion produced in diazacholesterol treated animals was very slight, there appears to be a correlation between the presence of sterols with a double bond at the 7-position and neuropathological lesions in young rats.

    Notes: Summary By means of the explant technique a series of primary tumours induced by methylnitrosourea (MNU) or ethylnitrosourea (ENU) in the brain of rats were cultured in vitro. The morphology of isomorphic oligodendrogliomas, astrocytomas, glioblastomas and sarcomas under in vitro conditions is described. All these neoplasias show a very distinct morphological picture and growth behaviour, thus permitting their classification. Most of the tumours tend to anaplastic changes during longer cultivation, but in some cases, preferably in well differentiated gliomas, the cytological properties are maintained even during longterm cultivation. The role of anaplasia and intermingling of different neoplastic cell types in experimental tumours are discussed.

    Notes: Summary Experimental allergic encephalomyelitis (EAE) developed in 15 of 30 rats injected with a mixture of Freund's adjuvant and homogenized guinea pig brain, and killed after 6–29 days. The incidence and severity of the disease increased with time after inoculation and in 2 animals involvement of the epiphysis, not previously reported in EAE, was detected. Toxic effects on cells in cultured adult rat cerebellar cortical tissue were produced by exposure for 24 h to the sera of rats killed 12–29 days after inoculation either with the antigenic suspension or with adjuvant alone. Severe toxicity to axons (widespread fragmentation) was produced only by the sera of animals injected with antigenic inocula and killed 17–29 days later. Severe axonal toxicity was not, however, correlated with the presence of EAE in the rats from which the sera were taken. It was not possible to assess myelinotoxic effects in the system used. It is suggested that the organ culture technique may detect the presence in the sera of inoculated animals of toxic principles which, owing to the blood-brain barrier, do not normally contribute to the pathogenesis of EAE.

    Notes: Summary Wistar rats of both sexes and the same litter were exposed to chronic lead intoxication from birth untill sacrifice 9 months later. Lead was administered as 0.4% solution of lead nitrate in drinking water. Samples from the parietal brain cortex were examined electron microscopically following intracardiac perfusion with paraformaldehyde-glutaraldehyde solution. Similar changes were observed in the microglial cells and the vascular pericytes whereas all the other tissue elements appeared intact. Both cell types hypertrophied, the microglia assumed characteristic spindle or rod shape, the cell organelles increased, the microglial endoplasmic reticulum widened strongly and a large number of lipid inclusions appeared. The latter consisted of large lipid droplets of varying size and shape, containing multiple zones of low density, and a dense component with a coarse granular structure. The similarity in the response of both cell entities to the lesion as well as some probable functions of microglial cells and their relationship to vascular pericytes are discussed.

    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die therapeutische Verwendung von Natriumfluorid ist für eine Anzahl von Knochenmangel-Krankheiten empfohlen worden. Die Empfehlungen basieren hauptsächlich auf den bekannten osteosklerotischen Wirkungen von Natriumfluorid; über dessen Effekt auf die Knochenstärke ist wenig bekannt. In dieser Arbeit wurde der Einfluß verschiedener Konzentrationen von Natriumfluorid auf die Knochenstärken von wachsenden Ratten mit hoher und niederer Calciumeinnahme untersucht. Die Verabreichung von Natriumfluorid erhöhte den Knochendurchmesser, was auf eine Stimulierung der Periostbildung hinwies, die Knochenstärke wurde jedoch durch Fluorideinnahme herabgesetzt oder nicht beeinflußt.
    Notes: Abstract The therapeutic use of sodium fluoride has been recommended in a variety of osteopenic bone diseases. The recommendations are based mainly on the known osteosclerotic effects of sodium fluoride and little information is available as to its effect on bone strength. The influence of various concentrations of sodium fluoride on bone strength in growing rats on high and low calcium diets was studied. The administration of sodium fluoride increased bone diameter, indicating stimulation of periosteal bone formation, but bone strength was reduced or not affected by fluoride ingestion.

    Notes: Summary Mean firing rates (per 10 sec) of preoptic neurons of the rat were recorded at normal temperature and after central warming and cooling. Thermosensitivity was determined according to the reactions of the mean firing rate. In compatibility with results from other animals we obtained the following percentages (52 neurons): 23% warm-sensitive, 13% cold-sensitive, 64% non-thermosensitive neurons. However, it turned out that a lot of interesting special effects are not taken into account, using exclusively the criterion “increasing/decreasing/constant mean firing rate”. Particularly we observed long lasting adaption processes and stationary non-linear effects as well as striking oscillations which were dependent on the thermal stimuli, while the mean interval value remained constant.

    Notes: Summary 1. Jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were perfused with hypotonic, isotonic and hypertonic buffered solutions containing 14C-labelled amidopyrine and antipyrine at neutral and at acidic pH. The blood flow of the loop was maintained at an intermediate rate (0.7–1.0 ml min−1g−1). The water net flux was determined by means of polyethylene glycol as non-absorbable marker and amounted up to ±30 μl min−1g−1. 2. A positive water net flux (directed towards the blood) increased the appearance rate of amidopyrine and antipyrine by maximally 43.8 and 49.2%, a negative water net flux (directed towards the gut lumen) diminished it by 38.8 and 35.0%. 3. The experimental data were analysed by means of a kinetic model with the water net flux as independent variable and the epithelial permeability kF D , the serosal permeability k S F S and the sieving coefficient Φ=1−σ as absorption parameters. For antipyrine independent of the pH-value of the perfusion solution kF D was 0.123, and, for amidopyrine at pH 7 and pH 3 kF D was 0.231 and 0.091, respectively. k S F S was zero indicating that in this experimental arrangement the transfer of drug molecules to the serosal side was negligible. The sieving coefficient Φ amounted to 2.30 for amidopyrine and 2.15 for antipyrine at neutral pH. At acidic pH it amounted to 0.50 for amidopyrine and 1.44 for antipyrine. The hydraulic permeability of water was identical at neutral and acidic pH. 4. The high sieving coefficient for the two drugs at neutral pH is interpreted as indicating that water and lipophilic drug molecules interact within the lipid part of the cell membrane. At acidic pH the ionized drug molecules appear to permeate the cell membrane preferentially across other (presumably more hydrophilic) areas.

    Notes: Summary 1. Jejunal loops of anaesthetized rats were perfused with buffered solutions (pH 6.8) containing d-galactose in two concentrations: below (100 μM) and above (100 mM) blood sugar concentration. The blood flow rate, the appearance rate (in the intestinal venous blood) and the disappearance rate (from the intestinal lumen) were determined simultaneously, the accumulation in gut tissue at the end of the experiments. 2. At constant intermediate blood flow the appearance rate and disappearance rate decreased with time. A decrease of the blood flow rate from about 1.9 to about 0.3 ml min−1 g−1 diminished both the appearance and the disappearance rate. An increase of blood flow from about 0.3 to about 1.9 ml min−1 g−1 did not increase the absorption rates; even a slight decrease was observed. 3. In the presence of phlorizine (2 mM) the absorption rates and the tissue accumulation of galactose is reduced. At constant intermediate blood flow the appearance and disappearance rate increased with time. A decrease of the blood flow rate from about 1.8 to about 0.3 ml min−1 g−1 diminished the appearance rate. An increase of the blood flow rate from about 0.3 to about 1.8 ml min−1 g−1 caused an increase of the appearance rate in contrast to the experiments without phlorizine. Therefore, the different blood flow dependence of the intestinal absorption observed with actively transported substances can be attributed to their non-passive component.

    Notes: Summary After administration of the anorectic drug fenfluramine (40 mg/kg per day) to rats (s. c. or i. p.) and guinea pigs (p.o.) over periods of 2 to 11 weeks, electron microscopic examination was performed on lungs, liver, lymphatic tissues and peripheral blood of both species, and on adrenal glands and ovaries of rats. In rats, fenfluramine caused the following alterations (listed according to the duration of treatment): Formation of abnormal lamellated inclusions in lymphocytes and plasma cells of lymphatic tissues, appearance of “foam cells” in lung alveoli; formation of abnormal lamellated inclusions in corpus luteum, lymphocytes of peripheral blood, and in adrenal cortex. In guinea pigs, the same alterations were found in lymphocytes of spleen and peripheral blood, in hepatocytes and in lung. The present observations support the concept of a generalized phospholipidosis induced by amphiphilic compounds. The potency of fenfluramine to induce a lipidosis is, however, considerably less pronounced than that previously demonstrated for the anorectic drug chlorphentermine. This difference is suggested to be due mainly to the lower degree of amphiphilia of fenfluramine.

    Notes: Abstract When two animals were placed in a hole-board the number of headdips made by each rat was twice the number made when tested alone, but was the same for pairs of drugged (2 mg/kg chlorpromazine) and undrugged rats, and for pairs where only one rat was drugged. This contrasts with the reduction of headdipping produced by chlorpromazine in single animals. However, chlorpromazine still reduced general motor activity, regardless of whether the partner was drugged or not. The activity of the undrugged rats was affected by the partner's state and was lower when the partner was drugged.

    Notes: Abstract The effect of the administration of l-Dopa, 10 or 100 mg/kg i.p., on the α-methyltyrosine methylester HCl (α-MT; 250+50 mg/kg i. p.) or tetrabenazine (TBZ; 2 mg/kg i.p.)-induced suppression of a successive discrimination-conditioned avoidance task has been studied. It was found that administration of the high l-Dopa dose resulted in a reversal of the α-MT- or TBZ-induced suppression of the avoidance behaviour, although the discrimination was lost. Restoration of the avoidance behaviour and the correct discrimination was obtained with the low l-Dopa dose after α-MT but not after TBZ. The difference in the behavioural response to l-Dopa after α-MT as compared to the response obtained after TBZ is discussed in terms of the availability of the catecholamines formed from l-Dopa for release by the nerve impulses. Biochemical determinations of brain noradrenaline and dopamine were made in parallel. Further, a simple and reliable method for the aquisition of a successive discrimination in the rat is described.

    Notes: Abstract Sulpiride, a new psychotropic drug with neuroleptic activity, was administered to rats in a Sidman avoidance schedule. Doses ranging from 1 to 80 mg/kg resulted in the animal receiving fewer shocks. This effect was not correlated with an increase of responding and seemed unrelated to the suppressing action abruptly observed at high doses (i. e. 150 to 200 mg/kg). These results differ from those classicaly obtained with other neuroleptics.

    Notes: Abstract The influence of 6-hydroxydopa (6-HDP) injected into the lateral ventricles of rat brain on the behaviour of animals was examined. The level of noradrenaline (NA), 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in discrete areas of the brain was also measured. 6-HDP was injected in a dose of 100 or 150 Μg into both lateral ventricles, or in a dose of 200 Μg into the right lateral ventricle. Immediately after 6-HDP injection, circling movements, convulsions, aggressive behaviour, and Stereotypic activity were seen. These components of behaviour were most obvious during the first hour after injection of 6-HDP. During one month after 6-HDP administration the behaviour of rats did not differ significantly from the behaviour of control animals, only very subtle differences in behaviour being seen. The dose of 150 Μg of 6-HDP caused aphagia and loss of body weigth during the first 5 days after treatment. 6-HDP also caused hypothermia. 20 min after administration of 200 Μg of 6-HDP a decrease of the NA level but no changes in the 5-HT level in the brain cortex were seen. The same changes were observed 1 month after 6-HDP treatment. The dose of 150 Μg of 6-HDP decreased the NA level in the brain cortex, cerebellum, mesencephalon and brain stem 5 days after treatment. 5-HT content was not changed and the 5-HIAA level was increased in the same brain areas. The dose of 100 Μg of 6-HDP, 2 weeks after the treatment decreased the content of NA in the brain cortex, cerebellum, hypothalamus and brain stem without changes in 5-HT content. 5-HIAA level was elevated only in the brain stem. It is concluded that 6-HDP is a long-acting potent depletor of NA in rat brain. There is a different sensitivity of brain areas to the depleting effect of 6-HDP. 6-HDP does not deplete the 5-HT content of discrete areas of brain but increases the level of 5-HIAA. 6-HDP causes distinct behavioural changes shortly after the treatment. It does not change the behaviour of rats between 1 and 30 days after its administration.

    Notes: Abstract Three experiments were performed on Sprague-Dawley derived rats in which 3.0 mg/kg, i.p., injections of methamphetamine were paired with either, (1) a distinctive spatial enclosure, i.e., either a black or gray portion of a shuttle box with discriminably different flooring, (2) the enclosure plus 0.1% saccharin solution availability in the home cage, or (3) the enclosure plus 0.1% saccharin solution availability in that area. Following three drug pairings which alternated with saline injections paired with a different enclosure or enclosure plus H2O availability, a choice of either spatial (1), or spatial plus gustatory stimuli (2,3) which included the original CS's, were presented under non-drug, non-injection conditions. Control groups received saline injections each day under identical conditions. No aversion to the enclosed area, which had been paired with the drug was demonstrated under (1), gustatory (P=0.005) but not spatial aversion was in evidence in the second paradigm, and spatial (P=0.01) and gustatory (P〈0.01) aversion was exhibited in the last study. It was concluded that subsequent aversion to distinctive spatial enclosures following methamphetamine injections was not as strong an effect as similar aversions to gustatory stimuli. Furthermore, the effect only obtained to neutral and not to preferred spatial areas at the dose level tested and in the apparatus used in those studies.

    Notes: Summary 1. In vivo uricase activity was tested in rats by injection of 2-C14 urate and measurement of the total C14 activity and the fractional activities of allantoin, allantoic acid and urea in samples of blood and urine. In control animals, 5 min after the injection, 70% of the plasma tracer was already present in the form of allantoin. No allantoic acid and urea were produced. Intestinectomy had no measurable influence on uricase activity. On the other hand, hepatectomy or ligation of the hepatic artery combined with subtotal viscerectomy did abolish uricase activity almost completely. 2. Following microinjections into proximal tubules of Ringer solution containing 2-C14 urate, urine samples during early recovery mainly contained labelled urate, whereas in later samples the fraction of labelled allantoin increased. About 12 min after the microinjection the urine of both kidneys contained equal amounts of tracer mainly in the form of allantoin. 3. When segments of proximal tubules were perfused with an equilibrium solution containing tracer amounts of C 14 urate, no urate was metabolized during its passage through the proximal tubule. 4. C 14 urate was offered from the peritubular capillaries and samples of tubular fluid were analyzed, Again, all the tracer in the tubular fluid was in the form of urate, indicating that urate is not oxidized when it is transported across the tubular cell. It is concluded from these results that: 1. The rat kidney has no significant uricase activity. 2. Urate transport in the kidney is not influenced by this enzyme. 3. The degradation of urate to allantoin takes place at extrarenal sites, mainly in the liver.

    Notes: Summary In rats born and staying their whole life at a simulated altitude of 3500 m a severe cardiac hypertrophy develops which is most pronounced in the right ventricle. On histological sections muscle fiber and capillary densities were counted and the surfaces occupied by muscle fibers and capillaries in the slides were estimated. Mean muscle fiber diameter and half mean distance between capillaries (diffusion distance) were obtained in the heart ventricles and were compared with those of control animals. In both ventricles an increase of the mean muscle fiber diameter occurred (true hypertrophy), being more pronounced in the right ventricle. We cannot tell whether also hyperplasia of muscle fibers occurred or not. The diffusion distance in the left ventricle of rats exposed to hypoxia was about the same as in control animals but was shorter in the right ventricle. This indicates that the total number of capillaries is higher in both ventricles of rats born in the low pressure chamber (hyperplasia of the capillaries). The shortening of the diffusion distance in the right ventricle of rats born and living their whole life at simulated high altitude was on the average smaller than that of rats exposed to simulated high altitude later in life. The physiological importance of this observation is discussed.

    Notes: Summary Stationary spike-trains of preoptic neurons of the rat were submitted to a correlation- and spectral-analysis at normal temperature and after central warming and cooling. Correlograms and periodograms were computed which enable the elimination of stochastic signal components and the identification of the relevant periodic components. About one half of the analysed neurons showed periodic correlograms. The following three classes may be distinguished: Neurons which showed correlograms with periodicities at each applied thermal state, at only one or two thermal states and those with no recognizable periodicities at all. Relations between periodicity and the thermosensitivity of the neurons are discussed.

    Notes: Summary In order to demonstrate the ascending projection from the locus ceruleus by degeneration silver method, the nucleus was destroyed unilaterally in rats and the brains were stained by a modified Fink-Heimer method following various survival times. Additional experiments included the bilateral destruction of the locus ceruleus and the administration of 6-OH-DOPA. For the demonstration of degenerated terminals in the cerebral cortex it is essential to choose an optimal survival time of 4 or 5 days, keep the time of fixation below 1 week, and perform treatments with permanganate and with silver at 37°C. The trajectory and distribution of the cerulo-cortical tract as revealed by the silver degeneration methods is in agreement with the results of the histofluorescence method, with some minor differences. The ascending fibers run through Forel's tegmental fascicle, turn rostro-ventrally to the subthalamus, enter and cross the internal capsule, pass through the ventral part of the caudate-putamen and distribute to the entire cerebral cortex. The tract is mainly ipsilateral, though some fibers are crossing.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Die maximalen Blutalkoholkonzentrationen nach oraler Gabe von 6,4 g/kg Äthanol in Form einer 40%igen Lösung (v/v) betrugen bei nicht nüchternen Meerschweinchen 6,8±0,3 mg/ml, bei nicht nüchternen Ratten dagegen nur 2,1±0,2 mg/ml. An nüchternen Tieren führte eine orale Alkoholbelastung von 4,8 g/kg zu maximalen Blutalkoholspiegeln von 6,3±0,2 mg/ml bei den Meerschweinchen und 3,7±0,3 mg/ml bei den Ratten. Intravenös injizierter Alkohol (1 g/kg) wurde demgegenüber von beiden Species mit der gleichen Geschwindigkeit eliminiert (275 mg/kg · Std), und die auf das Körpergewicht bezogene ADH-Aktivität der Leber war bei den Meerschweinchen um 20% größer als bei den Ratten. Die Resorption von Äthanol erfolgt somit bei Ratten erheblich langsamer als bei Meerschweinchen. Dies dürfte darauf beruhen, daß konzentrierte Alkohollösungen die Magenentleerung der Ratte stark verzögern. Niedriger konzentrierte Alkohollösungen werden von der Ratte schneller resorbiert; jedoch waren auch nach Gabe von 10%igem Alkohol die maximalen Blutalkoholspiegel bei Ratten noch um 36% niedriger als bei Meerschweinchen. Bei den Meerschweinchen waren nach oraler Gabe von 4,8 bzw. 6,4 g/kg Äthanol die Serumaktivitäten der GOT, GPT und GLDH erhöht; ein Anstieg der SGOT trat schon nach 1,6 g/kg Äthanol auf. Demgegenüber kam es bei Ratten nach 6,4 g pro kg Äthanol p.o. nur zu geringfügigen Aktivitätserhöhungen der Serumtransaminasen, während die Serumaktivität der GLDH unverändert blieb. Vacuolige Degeneration war das morphologische Substrat der durch Äthanol bei Meerschweinchen und Ratten ausgelösten Leberschädigung. Während diese Veränderung bei Meerschweinchen bereits nach einer Äthanoldosis von 1,6 g/kg auftrat, wurde sie bei Ratten erst nach 6,4 g/kg beobachtet. Schlußfolgerung: Das Meerschweinchen ist für Untersuchungen zur Toxicität von Äthanol besser geeignet als die Ratte.
    Notes: Abstract In fed guinea pigs, an oral dose of 6.4 g/kg of ethanol given as a 40% solution (v/v) produced a maximal blood alcohol level of 6.8±0.3 mg/ml, whereas in fed rats, blood alcohol levels after the same dose did not exceed 2.1±0.2 mg/ml. Maximal blood alcohol levels in fasted animals after an oral load of 4.8 g/kg of ethanol were 6.3±0.2 mg/ml in guinea pigs and 3.7±0.3 mg/ml for rats. However, i.v. injected ethanol (1 g/kg) was eliminated at the same rate in both species (275 mg per kg · h), and ADH activity of the liver related to body weight was by 20% greater in guinea pigs than in rats. Therefore, absorption of ethanol occurs at a much slower rate in rats than in guinea pigs. This is possibly due to the fact that high ethanol concentrations strongly delay emptying of the rat stomach. Lowering the ethanol concentration accelerates absorption rate in the rat. However, even after gavage of a 10% solution peak levels of blood alcohol were still lower by 36% in rats than in guinea pigs. In guinea pigs, increased serum activities of GOT, GPT, and GLDH occurred after an oral dose of 4.8 g/kg or 6.4 g/kg of ethanol, respectively. SGOT already increased after 1.6 g/kg of ethanol p.o. After 6.4 g/kg of ethanol given to rats serum transaminase levels increased only slightly, and GLDH activity not at all. Vacuolar degeneration was the morphological substrate of ethanol-induced liver damage in guinea pigs and rats. In guinea-pigs, it occurred already after 1.6 g/kg of ethanol, whereas in rats only after 6.4 g/kg. In conclusion, the guinea pig seems to be better suited for research on alcohol toxicity than the rat.

    Notes: Abstract In a one-way avoidance task with rats, injections of Librium (chlordiazepoxide) following avoidance acquisition resulted in prolonged resistance-to-extinction of the avoidance response. This effect occurred regardless of whether the rats had had prior experience with Librium or whether they were naive with respect to the drug. The same results were found with the same task when low doses of Valium were used. However, at a higher dosage an “extreme reaction” of either no responding or a high number of responses to extinction occurred in the naive animals. The Librium and Valium effects were compared to similar effects obtained using ethanol and hashish resin. These results indicate that the novelty hypothesis as originally stated by Amit and Baum cannot be supported because experience with the drugs prior to avoidance training did not attenuate the drug effect on avoidance.

    Notes: Abstract Factorial analysis of rat cerebral 5-HT values observed following intraperitoneal LSD-25 and UML (1-methyl-d-lysergic acid butanolamide) showed that the highly significant decrease induced by both drugs was independent of dose and that the effect of both drugs was the same. Increased platelet 5-HT values were also obtained with each drug. These findings suggest that the psychotomimetic effect of LSD-25 is not due to changes in cerebral 5-HT, since a relationship can probably be postulated between such an effect in man and the effect of LSD-25 on conditioned behaviour in the rat. It is also felt that the fact that these drugs decrease and increase cerebral and platelet values respectively may be of assistance in the interpretation of data relating to platelet 5-HT patterns in man under psychiatric conditions and during treatment with psychotropic drugs.

    Notes: Abstract In rats treated acutely and chronically with ethanol, brain serotonin (5-HT) turnover was determined by measuring in the same animals the rate of accumulation of 5-HT and the rate of decline of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) in the brain after administration of the MAO inhibitor pargyline-HCl. In the acute study, 5-HT turnover was not altered after a single 4 g/kg oral dose of ethanol. In two separate studies, it was shown that chronic administration of ethanol in the form of a liquid diet for 32 days also did not alter brain 5-HT turnover, even when the rats had developed a significant degree of tolerance to the motor-impairing effects of ethanol. These results suggest that tolerance to ethanol is unrelated to any change in brain 5-HT turnover.
