Abstract The report summarizes the experiments designed to determine or confirm the effects of methyl methacrylate on the gastrointestinal system in dogs and rats. There is a direct action of methyl methacrylate on the gastrointestinal motor effector systems. Significant blood chemical changes were observed in rats exposed to 116 ppm of methyl methacrylate vapor in air for six months. Similar concentrations for three months caused reductions of visceral and subcutaneous fat, and after three and six months liver damage was observed.
