Dosage Studied

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Rats maintained under these conditions were treated with DMTU at different concentrations and dosing schedules and then exposed for various times to intense visible light, either intermittently (1 hr light and 2 hr dark) or continuously."( Protection by dimethylthiourea against retinal light damage in rats.

de Ceaurriz, J; Langonne, I; Sabate, JP; Saillenfait, AM, 1991
)
0.28
" Since DMTU not only scavenges O2 metabolites but is also consumed in a dose-response manner following reaction with hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in vitro, we wondered whether DMTU would also be consumed by O2 metabolites in biological systems and if DMTU consumption would then reflect O2 metabolite concentrations and O2 metabolite-mediated injury."( Dimethylthiourea consumption reflects H2O2 concentrations and severity of acute lung injury.

"DNA single-strand breaks (and/or alkali-labile sites) induced by Cr(VI) were evaluated with the alkaline single cell gel electrophoresis (SCG) (Comet) assay in five organs (liver, kidney, spleen, lung, and brain) of male mice dosed with K(2)Cr(2)O(7) (20 mg Cr/kg) by a single ip injection in vivo, and the formation of paramagnetic Cr(V) in these organs was investigated by electron spin resonance (ESR) spectrometry."( Detection of dichromate (VI)-induced DNA strand breaks and formation of paramagnetic chromium in multiple mouse organs.
