    Iomex, a petroleum-derived weedicide, altered rat blood cell counts, specifically decreasing lymphocytes and increasing neutrophils. Enzymatic activities in the brain and liver remained unaffected by this exposure.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Environmental Health
    • Hematology

    Background:

    • Petroleum derivatives are increasingly used as herbicides.
    • Understanding the toxicological profile of such compounds is crucial for environmental and health risk assessment.
    • Iomex is a proposed weedicide with limited toxicological data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the hematological effects of Iomex exposure in rats.
    • To assess the impact of Iomex on key enzymatic activities in the brain and liver.
    • To determine the safety profile of Iomex as a potential weedicide.

    Main Methods:

    • Rats were parentally injected with Iomex.
    • Differential leucocytic count was analyzed.
    • Acid phosphatase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (AST), and glutamic pyruvate transaminase (ALT) activities were measured in brain and liver tissues.

    Main Results:

    • Significant alterations were observed in the differential leucocytic count.
    • A notable decrease in lymphocyte count and a concurrent increase in neutrophil count were recorded.
    • No significant differences in acid phosphatase, AST, or ALT activities were found in the brain and liver.

    Conclusions:

    • Iomex exposure induces specific hematological changes in rats, characterized by lymphopenia and neutrophilia.
    • The enzymatic activities in the brain and liver appear to be resistant to Iomex toxicity at the tested levels.
    • Further research is warranted to fully elucidate the toxicological impact and safe application of Iomex.
