Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:To study the characters of oscillatory potentials (OPs) of electroretinogram (ERG) after methanol intoxication in rats.
METHOD:The SD rat models of methanol intoxication were established and divided into control group, 3-day intoxication group, 7-day intoxication group. The changes of OPs of ERG were recorded in a dark room.
RESULTS:The total amplitudes of 3-day and 7-day intoxication groups decreased approximately 50% compared with that of the control group, while the schedule delayed approximately 16% and 61%, respectively.
CONCLUSION:The characters of methanol intoxication in rats included delay in schedule and decline in the total amplitude of OPs.
