| Abstract | Barr-Nea and Wolman in their studies on petroleum toxicity and carcinogenesis rubbed petroleum into the skin of mice and found that the animals developed malignant tumors of the lymphatic system and papilloma. The authors suggested that the effect observed was due to the presence in petroleum of aromatic hydrocarbons as well as hydrcarbons of different degree of oxidation. Although the benzene fraction of mineral oil contains only trace amounts of these types of hydrocarbons, it was found to cause hypertropy of hypophysis and adrenal cortex in animals subjected to chronic intoxication. In the present work the authors demonstrated that the R-33 benzene fraction of petroleum caused in the rat, hypertrophy of liver and kidney, changes in total protein content in these organs and changes in the protein synthetizing system, both when it was applied intraperitoneally and in the form of chronic inhalation of vapors. |
