Abstract

Oncogenicity studies of methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) vapor were conducted in CD-1 mice and Fischer 344 rats. Fifty animals of each sex per species per group were exposed for 6 h a day, 5 days per week to 0 (control), 400, 3000 and 8000 ppm MTBE vapor in air for 18 months (mice) and 24 months (rats). Both species showed reversible central nervous system depression at 8000 ppm for the first week of exposure, which continued for mice for the study duration. For the 8000 ppm mice, reduced body weight gain and early mortality prior to terminal euthanasia were exposure related. In the males, these deaths appear to be due to exacerbation of uropathy or dysuria, which occurs spontaneously in this strain. Increases in absolute and relative liver (both sexes) and kidney weight (males only) were seen at 3000 and 8000 ppm and decreases in brain and spleen weights were also noted (the latter decreases were without microscopic lesions and occurred at 8000 ppm only). An increase in hepatocellular hypertrophy occurred in both sexes at the two highest concentrations. The only neoplastic lesion found in this study in mice was an increased incidence of hepatocellular adenomas in females at the 8000 ppm exposure. In a follow-up study, a stat...Continue Reading
