SAFETY PROFILE Fairly large doses of sulfites can be tolerated since they are rapidly oxidized to sulfates, although if swallowed they may cause irritation of the stomach by liberating sulfurous acid. Experimentally, large doses of sodium sulfite have been shown to cause retarded growth, nerve irritation, atrophy of bone marrow, depression, and paralysis. They will react with water, steam, or acids to produce a toxic and corrosive material. When heated to decomposition they emit highly toxic fumes of SO,. 

Phosphonothioate Esters of Phenols. Phosphonates with a single P—C bond are highly toxic and persistent iasecticides but have not been used extensively because some compounds produce delayed neuropathy leading to irreversible paralysis ia higher animals, including humans. Such compounds specifically inhibit an enzyme, neurotoxic esterase, that is responsible for the growth and maintenance of long nerve axons (31,32). 

A number of adipokines are linked to inflammation and immunity (Fig. 1). This includes both leptin and adiponectin, and also a number of other key inflammatory proteins, particularly cytokines and chemokines [1]. The cytokines and chemokines encompass interleukin-1(3 (EL-1 (3), IL-6, DL-10, TNFa, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1), and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF). Other major inflammation-related adipokines include nerve growth factor (NGF), and acute phase proteins such as serum amyloid A and haptoglobin. In addition, adipocytes secrete plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), which is an important thrombotic factor as well as an acute phase protein. 

Furthermore, PKCe is required for nerve growth factor-induced activation of mitogen-activated protein kinases and neurite outgrowth by ethanol. It is also required for ethanol-induced increases in N-type voltage-gated calcium channels in PC 12 neural cells. 

Although mast cells and basophils probably account for >90% of stored histamine in the body, histamine is also present in platelets, enterochromaffin-like cells, endothelial cells, and neurons. Histamine can act as a neurotransmitter in the brain. Histaminergic nerves have their cell bodies within a very small area of the brain (the magnocellular nuclei of the posterior hypothalamus) but have axons in most areas of the forebrain. There is also evidence for axons projecting into the spinal (Fig. 1) cord. Finally, there is evidence that histamine synthesis can be induced in tissues undergoing rapid tissue growth and repair. In certain neonatal tissues (e.g. liver), the rate of synthesis of this unstored diffusable histamine (termed nascent histamine) is profound and may point to a role for histamine is cell proliferation.

Vitamin B12 is essential to growth, cell reproduction, the manufacture of myelin (which surrounds some nerve fibers), and blood cell manufacture. The intrinsic factor, which is produced by cells in the stomach, is necessary for the absorption of vitamin B12 in the intestine A deficiency of the intrinsic factor results in abnormal formation of erythrocytes because of the body s failure to absorb vitamin B12, a necessary component for blood cell formation. The resulting anemia is a type of megaloblastic anemia called pernicious anemia.
