Indian Journal of Experimental Biology. 1993 Sep; 31(9): 782-4http://imsear.searo.who.int/handle/123456789/56279Among the three important industrial solvents used, maximum stimulation of collagen formation in rat liver was caused by methyl alcohol followed by toluene and xylene. A combined treatment also promoted collagenesis suggesting a synergistic effect of these solvents.engAnimalsCollagen --biosynthesisLiver --drug effectsMaleMethanol --toxicityRatsSolvents --toxicityToluene --toxicityXylenes --toxicityJournal Article
