Prolonged red blood cell glycerol hemolysis in mice inhaling benzene.
Inhalation of benzene produces a prolongation of mouse red blood cell glycerol hemolysis time. This was not observed in red blood cells directly incubated in benzene. Increased resistance to the hemolytic action of glycerol should be explored as a potentially useful biological monitoring procedure in the red blood cells of benzene-exposed humans.
