ABSTRACT

Butylated hydroxy toluene (BHT), 800 mg/kg body weight, dissolved in corn oil and administered (ip) in a single injection to male rats, damaged the lung as indicated by an increase in lavage ACE, protein and LDH and caused a significant increase in phospholipid, particularly, phosphatidyl choline (PC) in lung lavage and extracellular surfactant. The plasma lecithin cholesterol acyl transferase (LCAT) activity was inhibited leading to an increase in serum phospholipids and phosphatidyl choline. The results indicate that BHT-induced lung phospholipidosis may be attributed to an increase in surfactant phospholipids and/or due to the leakage of plasma phospholipids through damaged capillary membrane.

ABSTRACT

Administration of single dose (175 mg/kg body wt) of amiodarone dissolved in water through gavage for 3 weeks damaged the lung and changed the content of lung lavage. Activities of bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased significantly. Also, the protein and lactate content of the lavage fluid increased significantly over the control. The drug also produced marked changes in morphology of the lung of experimental animals.
