Experimental neurology, 85(1), 63-68 (1984-07-01)
Urinary excretion of porphyrin precursors delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA) and porphobilinogen (PBG) and total porphyrins was measured during intoxication of rats with 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB), a chemical which produces delayed-onset neuromuscular weakness, in an attempt to ascertain whether or not DTB poisoning
K M Crofton et al.
Fundamental and applied toxicology : official journal of the Society of Toxicology, 16(3), 469-481 (1991-04-01)
2,4-Dithiobiuret (DTB) exposure causes a delayed onset muscle weakness in rats that has been attributed to depressed neuromuscular transmission. The present study compares the effects of DTB on both sensory and motor function in rats. Adult male Long-Evans hooded rats
Dithiobiuret-induced muscle weakness in rats: evidence for a prejunctional effect.

Acta neuropathologica, 81(2), 141-147 (1990-01-01)
It has been well established that 2,4-dithiobiuret (DTB) intoxication in rats produces a rapidly progressive hindlimb paralysis within days. The cause of this has, until recently, been explained on the basis of a physiological abnormality that involves a prejunctional impairment
K D Williams et al.
Toxicology and applied pharmacology, 91(2), 212-221 (1987-11-01)
To evaluate the hypothesis that depressed neuromuscular transmission causes dithiobiuret (DTB)-induced muscle weakness in rats, the temporal development of impaired treadmill performance and deficits in the nerve-elicited muscle contractions were compared during daily treatment with the toxicant (DTB, 1 mg/kg/day
