Abstract
1. 1. The effect of acute cyanide administration to mice in a lethal and a non-lethal dose and the anti-cyanide effect of S- adenosyl- l-methionine (SAM) and thiosulphate were investigated. 2. 2. The poisoning action was determined by measuring cytochrome oxidase, rhodanese and δ-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase (ALA-D) activity. 3. 3. The toxic metabolizing degree was investigated by measuring plasma and urine thiocyanate levels. 4. 4. The state of the sulfane sulfur pool was investigated by determining cyanide labile-sulfur levels. 5. 5. These results support the belief that rhodanese plays a fundamental role in the detoxification process only when high levels of cyanide are administered.
