roxarsone and Arsenic Encephalopathy

roxarsone has been researched along with Arsenic Encephalopathy in 11 studies

Roxarsone: An arsenic derivative which has anticoccidial action and promotes growth in animals.
roxarsone : An organoarsonic acid where the organyl group is 4-hydroxy-3-nitrophenyl.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" Arsenic levels in blood, urine, kidneys, and liver of rats were measured in additional animals of each sex dosed with 100 or 400 ppm roxarsone."1.28Toxic responses in F344 rats and B6C3F1 mice given roxarsone in their diets for up to 13 weeks. ( Abdo, KM; Elwell, MR; Montgomery, CA; Prejean, JD; Thompson, MB; Thompson, RB, 1989)
" A growth-promoting dosage of Cu (250 mg/kg) increased weight gain by 32% in one experiment but showed no efficacy in alleviating the growth-depression resulting from feeding 400 mg/kg roxarsone."1.27Toxic effects of supplemental copper and roxarsone when fed alone or in combination to young pigs. ( Baker, DH; Edmonds, MS, 1986)
" L-cysteine x HCl x H2O (59%) increased rate and efficiency of gain when added to the basal diet, but depressed performance, increased kidney arsenic concentration, and enhanced mortality when added to diets containing toxic levels of roxarsone (200 mg/kg or higher)."1.26Roxarsone toxicity in the chick as influenced by dietary cysteine and copper and by experimental infection with Eimeria acervulina. ( Baker, DH; Czarnecki, GL, 1982)
