Résumé

Young mice exposed dermally to the Toximul™ (Tox) class of agricultural pesticide adjuvants have reduced levels of hepatic glycogen, a marker of subclinical toxicity. The present study determined whether these effects on glycogen also occurred in cultured HepG2 cells. Exposure (3 hr) to Tox resulted in significant, concentration-dependent glycogen reductions (up to 70%) relative to control values (76 ± 3 μg glycogen/mg protein). These reductions did not appear to be due to loss of cell viability, and were reversible with Tox removal. Two different formulations of Tox (3409F and MP-A) differed significantly in the magnitudes of glycogen reduction in the HepG2 cells.
