Biological context of Ethylene glycol butyl ether

  • This toxic effect, coupled with the observation that continued treatment with 2-butoxyethanol results in hemosiderin deposition in the liver, has led to our hypothesis that liver carcinogenicity by 2-butoxyethnaol is mediated via oxidative stress (iron catalyzed) and Kupffer cell activation [11].
  • An increase in hemolysis (measured by a decrease in hematocrit and increase in relative spleen weight) was observed in 2-butoxyethanol-treated rats and mice in a dose-dependent manner [12].
  • These data demonstrate that 2-butoxyethanol and related metabolites do not directly cause DNA damage [3].
  • No apparent differences in apoptosis and mitosis in the liver were observed in mouse and rat liver between 2-butoxyethanol treatment groups and untreated controls [12].
  • Chronic inhalation studies with 2-butoxyethanol (BE) conducted by the National Toxicology Program identified the forestomach and liver of B6C3F1 mice as target organs for tumorigenicity (NTP, 2000) [13].
