[Study of serum beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase activity in white rats treated with 1,2-dichloroethane]

In the course of a three-month long, chronic experiment using white male rats, the organic solvent 1,2-dichlorethane was administered per os at the following doses: 1/5000, 1/1000 and 1/200 LD50. The activity of the lysosome enzyme beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase is studied. A statistically significant increase (p less than 0.02) is established in the two higher doses.
