    Biochemical degradation test of food coal-tar dyes using sludge was studied in order to evaluate their safty. It was found that some dyes were little decomposed under aerobic condition but four azo dyes were readily decomposed under anaerobic condition. These were Food Yellow No.4, No.5, and Food Red No.2, No.102. Decomposed products of these four azo dyes by sludge under anaerobic condition wcre identified as sulfonilic, naphthionic acids and so on.

    Twenty kinds of coal-tar dyes were subjected to median tolerance limit (TLm) test by use of Himedaka (Oryzias latipes) for the comparision of their acute toxicities. It became clear that 4 kinds of halogens substituted xanthene compounds dyes showed strong acute toxicities. From the fact that uranine had the lower acute toxicity than halogens substituted compounds and the toxicities of these 4 dyes increased through irradiation, it was assumed that halogen atoms in dyes might be responsible for these strong acute toxicities to fish.

    Focal myocarditis characterized by interstitial edema, round cell infiltration and fibrosis occurred in rats given a subcutaneous administration of testosterone propionate in a dose of 50 mg/kg for 30 consecutive days or longer. Biochemical analysis showed a two to five time increase of deoxycorticosterone and a moderate decrease of corticosterone in blood plasma of these rats as well as in those treated with 50 mg/kg of testosterone propionate for 15 days. It was also shown that myocarditis did not occur in adrenalectomized rats after administration of testosterone propionate 50 mg/kg for 30 days, while subcutaneous injections of deoxycor-ticosterone acetate in a dose of 15 mg/kg for 30 days invariably produced cardiac lesions in both adrenalectomized rats and sham-operated rats. Regarding species difference, administration of testosterone did not produced either a high blood level of deoxycorticosterone or focal myocarditis in guinea pigs or rabbits. From these results, it is concluded that focal myocarditis in rats after administration of large amounts of testosterone propionate is related to the elevation of deoxycorticosterone in blood plasma but not to the direct effects of testosterone propionate on the myocardium.

    Correlative morphological and biochemical studies were made on the adrenal of rats treated with daily subcutaneous injections of testosterone propionate in a dose of 50 mg/kg for 30 consecutive days. Histologically, there is a thinning of the zona fasciculata with a decrease of cell numbers, swelling of the cell body and the occurrence of large lipid droplets in the cytoplasm. Electron microscopic examination revealed swelling of mitochondria with reduction of cristae and hypertrophy of smooth-surfaced endoplasmic reticulum with cluster formation or whirl-like arrangement. In in vitro biochemical experiments, it was noted that conversion of deoxycorticosterone to corticosterone or 18-hydroxydeoxy-corticosterone was decreased to 45% of the control level in the testosteronetreated group.
