Study of ocular tissue changes, brain GABA and polyamine levels in rats exposed to carbon disulfide.

The authors observed Wistar rats exposed to the various concentrations of carbon disulphide. They studied as the histological tissue changes as brain GABA and polyamine levels. They found the identical tissue changes in the both exposed groups and changes in the control one.

Changes in serum angiotensin I converting enzyme activity due to carbon disulfide exposure.

The activity of serum angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE) was determined in 50 workers from a viscose factory in Banja Luka, Yugoslavia, and in 50 control subjects. Activity of serum ACE was significantly lower in workers exposed to carbon disulfide than in the control group. No correlation was found between a decrease of serum ACE in exposed workers and duration of exposure.
