In order to study effects of nicotine on fetal gonadal axis and sexually
time-pregnant Sprague Dawley rats were implanted on
dimorphic behavior,
gestational day (GD) 12 with an osmotic minipump containi-ng either nicotine
tartrate, ~rtaric acid_ or saline . Others were sham-operated on GD 12 or
left untreated . Male fetuses of all control groups displayed the
characteristic rise in plasma testosterone at GD 18 (as compared to GD 17
and 19) ; this was abolished by nicotine . Adult offspring of-untreated or
tartaric acid-treated dams exhibited a marked sexual dimorphism in their
preference for saccharin-containing drinking water at 0 .06-0 .25% . No such
sex difference was seen in offspring of nicotine-treated rats . In controls,
the sexes tiiffered with respect to the proportion of rats with high
saccharin preference . In the group of males prenatally exposed to nicotine,
the proportion of animals with high preference increased to the female
level . These data indicate that prenatal exposure to nicotine can interfere
with the development of the male gonadal axis and with the organization of
sexually dimorphic behavior .

The recovery period of the taste responses of rat chorda tympani after
application of toothpaste was examined . The response observations of 4
kinds of essential taste stimuli, 0 .1 M NaC1, 0 .005 M quinine
hydrochloride, 1 .0 M sucrose and 0 .05 M tartaric ac~, were repeated every
2 or 5 min . After 5 observations of summated responses of the chorda
tympani with each taste stimulus, a toothpaste solution diluted 3 :1 was
applied to rat tongues for 3 min and then they were-washed with distilled
water for 1 .5 min . Thereafter, observations of the responses to each taste
stimulus were repeated at 2 or 5 min intervals for 30 or 60 min . The
responses caused by- 4 kinds of essential taste stimuli became smaller
immediately after application of toothpaste, and then gradually returned to
normal . The same experimental procedure was also applied using an
application of distilled water instead of an application of toothpaste to
rat tongues . A t-test was performed between the response ratios after
application of toothpaste and those after application of distilled water .
Significant differences disappeared at 18 min after application of the 0 .1
M NaC1 stimulus, at 23 min of the 0 .005 M quinine hydrochloride stimulus,
at 15 min of the 1 .0 M sucrose stimulus and at 15 min of the 0 .05 M
tartaric acid stimulus . All taste responses recovered within at least 50
mi n .

6roups of rats were given metatartaric acid -in the drinking water at 0
(control), 0 .1, 0 .5 or ? .U% for 18 wk . No-effects associated with treatment
were seen in the results of the hematological examinations and serum
analyses . The treated animals consumed less water and food than the
controls, probably because of the unpalatability of the test material .
Administration of the 3%_solution was associated in males with a reduced
growth rate, some impairment of urine concentrating ability during
prolonged water_ deprivat-ion (also seen in- males on h .5Z)- and
histopathological changes in the stomach indicative of an inflammatory
response in the submucosal layer . Both sexes of the 3% group showed an
increase in relative kidney weight without accompanying histopathological
change . The no-untoward-effect level in this study was 0 .1% metatartaric
acid in the drinking-water, equivalent to a mean daily intake of 80 mg/kg
body wt in males-and 130 mg/kg in females .

LD50 for i .p . potassium antimonyl tartrate [an antischistosomiasis drug]
was 54 .6 mg/kg in mice, with a 95% confidence range of 48 .4-61 .7 mg/kg-. An
examination of the antidotal efficacy of a number of different structural
types of chelating agents, showed that few types were able to act as
antidotes when potassium antimonyl tartrate was administered i .p . to mice
at a level of 120 mg/kg . The most effective antidotes were the water
soluble vicinal di-thiols : 2,3-dimercaptosuccinic acid CBAL] and sodium
2,3-dimercaptopropane-l-sulfonate ; the first was significantly better . Less
effective was D-penicillamine . At- this level of administration of Sb (III),
HAL was not an effective antidote . Among other chelating agents which were
also not effective at this level of Sb (III) were tartaric acid, EDTA, Cys,
sodium diethyldithiocarbamate-and potassium dithiooxalate .

The effects of-heavy metals, especially Cr, on lipid peroxidation-in rat
liver microsomes were studied . Lipid peroxidation -was determined as
thiobarbituric acid=reacting materials . At lower concentrations in the
range of 1-100
.mu .M, both hexavalent and trivalent Cr inhibited lipid
peroxidation induced by ascorbate or NADPH in microsomes . In the presence
of ascorbate, the inhibitions decreased- on treatment wi-th sulfhydryl
reagents and were partly overcome by the addition of tartaric aciA6 Cr,
presumably in the trivalent -form, may bind with sulfhydryl groups of
protein, causing the inhibition of lipid peroxidation . In the presence of
NADPH, hexavalent Cr showed very potent inhibition . Hexavalent and
trivalent Cr did not inhibit the electron-transport system in microsomes .
The hexavalent form may act as a radical scavenger, since it strongly
inhibited - CC14-stimulated lipid peroxidation, could reduce
2,2'-diphenyl- .beta .-picrylhydrazyl to some extent in the presence of a
reducing agent such as ethanol, and inhibited NADPH-induced peroxidation
markedly in the presence of sulfhydryl compounds . Above 1 mM, hexavalent Cr
caused lipid peroxide formation in microsomes, apparently not associated
with Fe, while trivalent Cr showed an inhibitory effect .

Hemolytic
effects are reported
monoglycerides , sodium stearoyl-lactyl lactate (NaSLL), a diacetyl tartaric
acid ester of monoglycerides (DATE) and a polyglycerol ester . The results
obtained from these polar lipids compared to a lecithin, a lysolecithin and
a fatty acid show that NaSLL (frequently used in industrial baking)-is the
only lipid exhibiting a- strong- solubilizing effect on the _Chuman]
erythrocyte sur-face membrane . NaSLL gave a slightly stronger hemolysis than
lysolecithin of the same concentration . Lysolecithin reportedly damages the
gastri c mucosal barr-i er and may be a f actor i n the et i ol ogy -of gastri c
ulcer . Whether or not NaSLL similarly affects the gastric mucosa should be
evaluated from studies in vivo .

Language : ENGLISHSubfile : BA (Biological Abstracts) Effects of administration of CuC12 on the taste preference for the 4
basic taste solutions were studied by 2 bottle preference tests in rats .
The i .p . injection of 450 mu .g CuC12/100 _g-B .W . [body weight] per day for
2 wk induced no_-significant changes in the taste preference for both NaCl
and sucrose solutions . The taste preference for- tartaric acid and
quinine-HC1 solutions was influenced by CuC12 injection ; 10 of 27 rats took
tartaric acid or quinine- solutions as much as water, and 4 of 27 rats
showed a marked increase in fluid intake for tartaric acid or quinine
solutions over water . Discontinuation of Cu administration restored the
altered preference responses to the preference level seen in the control
period . Patterns of the summated taste nerve response to various
concentrations of the 4 basic taste stimuli in the Cu-injected rats were ~
similar to those in the control rats . The possible mechanisms by which Cu
injection alters preference behavior are discussed .

Plasma concentrations of radioactivity declined biphasically with
half-lives of about- 15 and 58 h, respectively, in rats dosed with
monosodium DL-C14C7tartrate for 7 days at a dose level of 2 .73 g/kg per
day . Uptake and retention of radioactivity occurred in blood cells, kidneys
and bones where it was detected for at least 12 days after dosing . Renal
retention (11202
.+- . 4469 ppm at 6 h, n = 7) was probably due to
precipitation of the poorly soluble calcium DL-tartrate in the tubules
leading to increased E::idney weight, nephrotoxicity and even death . The more
soluble, naturally-occurring L(+)-[14C]tartrate was not retained in the
kidneys (1287
.+- . 118 ppm at 6 h, n = 8) when administered to rats under
the -same conditions, and the initial decline of plasma concentrations of
radioactivity was more rapid (tO .5 [1/2 time] 3 h) . For this reason
monosodium L(+)-tartrate was non-toxic at 2 .73 g/kg per day, whereas
monosodium DL-tartrate was toxic at this dosage . CTartaric acid is used in
medicine and in food .]

Monosodium L(+) tartrate was fed to rats in their diet for a total period
of 2 yr at levels of 25,600, 42,240, 60,160 and 76,800 ppm . The survival of
rats receiving 42,240, 60,160 and 76,800 ppm was superior to that of the
controls and probably correlated with the lower food intake of these groups
and the restiltant reduced body weight gain . There were no adverse clinical
signs and the investigation of the animals' eyes, blood and urine did not
reveal any reaction to treatment, nor were changes to related to treatment
seen in the macroscopic pathology or organ weights of rats killed after 104
wk . Histological examination of the tissues did not show evidence of
toxicity or tumor induction that coul-d be attributed to treatment withmonosodium L(+) tartrate . CTartaric acid and its salts are used in the food
industry as synergists with antioxidants, as acidulants and as leavening
agents .)
