The joint hepatotoxicity of CCl4 and CHCl3 or TCE in male CD rats following simultaneous oral administration has been investigated. Rats with chronic indwelling arterial cannulas were administered a single oral dose of CCl4 and CHCl3 or CCl4 and TCE in 5% Emulphor at doses of 0 to 700 mg/kg. Hepatotoxicity was evaluated by measuring the activity of AST, ALT, and SDH in plasma at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48, and 72 hr postgavage. Response data were analyzed for interaction using response surface methodology. CCl4 alone displayed dose-dependent toxicity. TCE demonstrated little evidence of hepatotoxicity. In combination, both CCl4/CHCl3 and CCl4/TCE displayed a synergistic (supraadditive) response for peak plasma enzyme activity.
