RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 STUDIES ON THE TOLERANCE FORMATION TO GOLD SODIUM THIOSULPHATE IN RATS JF Journal of Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics JO J Pharmacol Exp Ther FD American Society for Pharmacology and Experimental Therapeutics SP 17 OP 20 VO 76 IS 1 A1 RUTH CORTELL A1 R. KOHN RICHARDS YR 1942 UL http://jpet.aspetjournals.org/content/76/1/17.abstract AB Tolerance formation to usually fatal amounts of gold sodium thiosulphate in rats can be developed by the repeated intramuscular injection of doses ranging from 20 to 35 mgm./kgm. The mechanism of the tolerance formation is related to the development of a resistance of the epithelial cells of the tubules of the kidney to the damaging effects of the gold salt.
