Results and discussion

Details on results:
None of the compounds elicited increased GST activity in the forestomach.  C6 ring compounds showed no significant effect. C12 ring compounds 
were  more effective than C8 ring compounds with a decrease in activity in the  order: unsaturated > epoxide > alcohol > saturated.

Any other information on results incl. tables

None of the compounds elicited increased GST activity in the forestomach.  

C6 ring compounds showed no significant effect. C12 ring compounds were  more 

effective than C8 ring compounds with a decrease in activity in the  order:
unsaturated > epoxide > alcohol > saturated.

Applicant's summary and conclusion

Conclusions:
1,5-cyclooctadiene was few effective in producing increased GST activity in the liver.
Executive summary:

Glutathione S-transferase is considered as a major detoxification system  which catalyzes conjugation of electrophilic compounds, e.g. chemical  carcinogens, to glutathione. The effects of cyclic 12-, 8- and 6-carbon  compounds  (incl. 1,5-cyclooctadiene) on the

glutathione S-transferase  (E.C 2.5.1.18) activity in the liver, intestinal mucosa and the  forestomach of female ICR/Ha mice were investigated.

None of the compounds elicited increased GST activity in the forestomach.  C6 ring compounds showed 

no significant effect. C12 ring compounds were  more effective than C8 ring compounds with a decrease in activity in the  order: unsaturated > epoxide > alcohol > saturated.
