Tungsten(W) is a complex metal that has numerous
applications due to its tensile strength and high
melting point. 1H NMR spectroscopy based study has been
conducted on urine, liver and kidney extracts samples
for identification of metabolite markers for W toxicity.
Urine samples were collected at 8, 16, 24, 72 and 120h
whereas tissue extracts were prepared for 24, 72 and
120h post dose for low, moderate and high doses of
Na2WO4.2H2O. Spectral analysis showed dose dependent
alterations in various metabolites associated with renal
and hepatic toxicity and could be been seen as early as
8h post dose.
