Yoko Eitaki et al.
Journal of occupational health, 53(6), 423-431 (2011-10-15)
In order to measure occupational exposure concentrations of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE), we developed a diffusive sampling method for monitoring ETBE and performed an ETBE exposure assessment. The applicability of diffusive samplers was examined by exposing the samplers to ETBE
Akihiro Hagiwara et al.
Toxicology, 289(2-3), 160-166 (2011-08-26)
The modifying potential of ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) on tumor development was investigated in a medium-term multi-organ carcinogenesis bioassay using male F344 rats. Animals were sequentially given 5 carcinogens with different target sites in the first 4 weeks for multi-organ
Yuzo Asano et al.
Drug and chemical toxicology, 34(3), 311-317 (2011-06-09)
Ethyl tertiary-butyl ether (ETBE) is commonly used as an oxygenated gasoline additive. In this study, the prenatal developmental toxicity of ETBE was determined in rabbits. New Zealand white rabbits were given ETBE by gavage at 100, 300, or 1,000 mg/kg/day

Ukrains'kyi biokhimichnyi zhurnal (1999 ), 83(3), 5-24 (2011-09-06)
Most physiological processes of all organisms are rhythmic with a period of about 24 h and are generated by an endogenous biological CLOCK present in all cells. However, there is also a central CLOCK--the primary circadian pacemaker which is localized
Zuquan Weng et al.
Archives of toxicology, 86(4), 675-682 (2011-11-22)
Ethyl tertiary butyl ether (ETBE) is used as an additive to gasoline to reduce carbon monoxide emissions in some developed countries. So far, ETBE was not found with positive results in many genotoxic assays. This study is undertaken to investigate
