  • Title: Carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) levels and serum activities of liver enzymes following acute CCl4 intoxication.
    Author: Teschke R, Vierke W, Goldermann L.
    Journal: Toxicol Lett; 1983 Jun; 17(1-2):175-80. PubMed ID: 6623503.
    Abstract:
    Peak levels of carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) as determined by head-space gas chromatography were observed 3-6 h following an acute oral dose of CCl4 in the blood, liver and fat of rats. Subsequently, there was a rapid decline of CCl4 levels. Conversely, serum activities of enzymes originating from the liver such as glutamate oxalacetate transaminase (GOT), glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) increased considerably and showed activity peaks between 12-48 h following CCl4 administration, indicating a delayed response of CCl4 on the activity levels of enzymes in the blood.
