Abstract
The effects of (1) i.v. injection of various perfluorochemical (PFC) emulsions, (2) different fractions of the non-ionic poloxamer surfactant, Pluronic F-68, or (3) i.p. injection of component PFC oils have been studied separately in male and female rats. Injection of 10 ml/kg body wt of either Fluosol-DA 20% (F-DA) or a novel perfluorodecalin emulsion containing a C-16 oil additive in male rats increased liver weight up to 7 days later; no corresponding effect occurred in response to injection of Oxypherol (FC-43). Liver weight was also increased in female rats at 72 hr after injection of the novel emulsion but this was less pronounced than in males; liver weight in female rats was unchanged in response to injection of either F-DA or FC-43 but was 12% greater at 72 hr after injection of FDC oil. Mean liver microsomal cytochromes P-450 concentrations in male rats were increased 2-3 fold at 72 hr after injection of either FDC, F-DA or the novel emulsion; a less pronounced increase was also seen at 7 days in animals receiving the novel emulsion. No significant alterations in cytochromes activity occurred in response to injection of FTPA, FTBA, the C-16 oil, FC-43 or either commercial grade or purified pluronic solution. Liver cytochromes P-450 concentrations in female rats were unaffected by any of the experimental treatments.
