Toxic Effect of Acetone on Experimental Male Wistar Rats
Al-Suhaibani, Entissar S. . 2014
Acetone (dimethyl ketone) and 2-propanone (CH3COCH3) is an organic chemical compound which belongs
to ketones. Acetone is produced normally in human body, but its excessive levels has toxic hazard
effects. Acetone is used in many fields, but excessively as nail polish remover. Present study results proved acetone
inhalation bad effects (with different concentration levels on experimental male Wistar rats), as neuro-behavior disorders,
lack of red blood cells, biochemical imbalance in glucose and insulin levels, urinary acetone increasing level and
histopathological alterations in some target tissues. We aimed to provide a greater awareness to consumers of acetone
against its usage without attention as they may are exposed directly or indirectly to acetone inhalation
