ABSTRACT
Pregnant mice were exposed to 100 mg/kg 2,4,5-T, IG, on gestation days 6 through 17, and sacrificed on postpartum day 1 or 21. Toxicologic evaluation showed no changes in body weight, heart weight, heart to body weight ratio, or cardiac supernate protein between corn oil control and 2,4,5-T treated mice on days 1 or 21 postpartum (pp). There were no effects of 2,4,5-T treatment on the total LDH enzyme activity of cardiac supernate on day 1 or 21pp. Serum LDH total activity was depressed on day 1pp and comparable to control values on day 21pp. Cardiac CK total activity was elevated on day 1pp, but not on day 21pp. Serum CK total activity on day 1 was comparable to control values; however, on day 21, a significant decrease in activity was observed. Cardiac LDH and CK isozyme profiles were normal on days 1 and 21pp. The serum LDH isozyme profile was normal at both times. The serum CK isozyme profile on Day 1 was markedly altered by athe appearance of two aberrant isozyme bands while on day 21, there was a profile shift with an increase in the BB band and a compensatory decrease in the MM band. These changes in creatine kinase suggest metabolic or pathologic changes in the cardiac muscle.
