}The actions of purified tetra-, tri-, and di-ethyl lead on rats and rat brain slices and brain brei have been examined. A method based on a reaction with dithizone and capable of estimating tri- and di-ethyl tin in rat tissues has been developed. After injection into rats tetraethyl lead is converted into triethyl lead and this is responsible for the toxic effects. Diethyl lead is much less toxic and the effects are different. The utilization of lactate and the oxidation of glucose by brain…

It was found that brain slices prepared from rats injected with tetraethyl lead or tin were able to metabolize glucose at a normal rate but that there was some impairment in their ability to utilize glutamate or glycine.

TETRA-ETHYL LEAD INTOXICATION AND POISONING BY RELATED COMPOUNDS OF LEAD
- Chemistry

Since tetra-ethyl lead added to gasoline in the maximum proportion (1:1,260) now allowed by the purveyors of the compound has been demonstrated to be free from harmful effects as far as any potential hazard resulting from the lead compound is concerned, the hygienic problem is limited to those men who work with the compound prior to its addition to gasoline.
