title: [Protective action of some compounds against the toxicity of acetaldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde in the rat].
abstract: The Authors report the protective activity of some compounds against the toxicity of acetaldehyde, acrolein and formaldehyde in the rat. The compounds were orally administered 30 min before and 5 hours after the toxicant aldehyde administration (acetaldehyde 2150 mg/kg os; acrolein 75 mg/kg os; formaldehyde 950 mg/kg os). L-cysteine and L-ascorbic acid showed a good protective activity against the three toxicant aldehydes. Cysteamine, BHT and propyl gallate showed activity against acetaldehyde and formaldehyde. Quercetin was active only against acetaldehyde whereas alpha-tocopherol was inactive.
