In guinea pigs poisoned with benzene fumes, early signs of biochemical impairment of the liver parenchyma were demonstrated. Enzyme activities and serum proteins were assayed in the blood of the animals. The results indicate the need for liver function testing in workers exposed to the toxic action of benzene.
