Research Excerpts

Overview

Allyl alcohol is an intermediate widely used in industrial production activities. It has caused many occupational damage in China.

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"Allyl alcohol is an intermediate widely used in industrial production activities, which has caused many occupational damage in China. "( [A case of occupational allyl alcohol inhalation poisoning].

Treatment

Allyl alcohol treatment alone caused an increase in COX-2 mRNA at 4 h. In allyl alcohol-treated mice the isolated mitochondria were found to be primarily in a condensed form. Treatment diminishes the concentration of reduced glutathione (GSH) in liver.
