Results and discussion
Any other information on results incl. tables
Neurotoxic effects seen with sodium formate after 8 h of
incubation:
1) Toxicity in developing cultures:
Sodium formate: toxic at </= 40 mM.
Toxicity of model toxicants:
Cytosine arabinoside: gliotoxic at 0.01 mM.
2) Mature cultures
Sodium formate: neuronotoxic at </= 60 mM.
cytotoxic at >/= 120 mM.
Toxicity of model toxicants:
Glutamate neuronotoxic at </= 5.0 mM;
Methyl iodide neuronotoxic at </= 2.50 mM
cytotoxic at >/= 5.0 mM.
Sodium formate caused lesions mainly in large, polygonal neurons.
Applicant's summary and conclusion
- Conclusions:
- Neuronotoxicity in vitro seen at >/= 40 mM sodium formate
