High impact information on Acute Toxicity Tests

• In contrast, acute toxicity tests showed that oral CCNU was 1.45 times less toxic to normal tissue, although the dose-limiting organ may be different for the two routes [1].
• Nevertheless, in the case of Cr(VI), the viability-inhibition assay appeared to be more sensitive than the Microtox acute-toxicity test [2].
• Data obtained from the chlorpyrifos-methyl acute toxicity tests were evaluated using Finney's probit analysis statistical method [3].
• The results of acute toxicity tests showed that C. cornuta was less tolerant than D. magna and V. fischeri to salinity and that C. cornuta was more sensitive than D. magna and V. fischeri to potassium dichromate, diazinon, methyl parathion, and mercury [4].
• Nickel sulfate hexahydrate (NiSO4 x 6H2O) was used as the Ni source for performing acute toxicity tests (median lethal concentration after 96-h exposure [96-h LC50]) with < 1-d-old and 28-d-old P. promelas under varying regimes of hardness, pH, alkalinity, and natural organic matter (NOM) [5].

Biological context of Acute Toxicity Tests

• Influences of a laboratory diet and natural seston on the bioavailability of carbaryl, chlorpyrifos, and malathion to black fly larvae (Diptera: Simuliidae) in an acute toxicity test [6].

Associations of Acute Toxicity Tests with chemical compounds

• Acute toxicity tests and behavioral tests were conducted using concentrations ranging from 10,000 to 40,000mg/kg cadmium sulfate [7].
• B. calyciflorus cysts hatch at salinities up to 5 ppt and acute toxicity tests using pentachlorophenol at this salinity yielded LC50's about one-half those of standard freshwater [8].
• Acute toxicity tests, exposing Girardia tigrina to potassium dichromate (K(2)Cr(2)O(7)), showed good reproducibility [9].
• In acute toxicity tests in mice the optimal adsorbent: diazinon ratio was 8:1 when the animals were treated with 45 mg kg-1 diazinon after immediate, 1, and 3 h post administration of the adsorbent [10].
• Young striped bass (Morone saxatilis) with uninflated gas bladders were less sensitive to selenate and more sensitive to selenite exposure than normally developing striped bass in 96-hour acute toxicity tests [11].

Gene context of Acute Toxicity Tests

• Acute toxicity tests with fish have shown that high percentages of AChE inhibition are needed to cause detrimental effects, but not much is known about the consequences of chronic exposure to this group of chemicals for both AChE activity and higher levels of biological organisation [12].
• Both the Apocp and the vaccine passed the general pharmacology and acute toxicity tests [13].
• Biodegradable phosphate fibers of calcium-sodium-metaphosphate (CSM) and sodium-calcium-aluminum-polyphosphate (NCAP) were acutely nontoxic in cellular, tissue, and whole animal evaluations, as determined by standard acute toxicity tests [14].
• To confirm the safety of BCS, we conducted both an acute toxicity test and a mutagenicity test [15].
