Summary
Carbon tetrachloride twenty-four hours after its administration resulted in a significant increase in serum iron, copper, zinc, calcium, potassium and sodium, while for magnesium no significant change was observed. A portion of this rise was due to the known hepatotoxic effect of CCl4 on the liver.
Pretreatment with adenosine-5-monophosphate led to a normalization of the level of serum iron, copper and zinc, while in case of calcium, magnesium, potassium and sodium there was no significant change from that found in CCl4.
The normalization of serum copper and iron under the influence of AMP may be due to some protective action of AMP on the liver.
However, the disturbance in minerals metabolism may be considered as one of the earliest lesions in CCl4 poisoning.
