Abstract: | Female (SD) rats were fed diets containing 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and 2,2′,4,4′,5,5′-hexachlorobiphenyl (PCB 153) in various concentrations for three months. PCB 153 had no significant effect on the body weight gain when given alone or in combination with TCDD. The increases in relative liver weights were additive. For thymic atrophy no interactive effects became apparent. PCB 153 had no effect on the EROD induction by TCDD. PROD induction by PCB 153 was diminished in the presence of TCDD. The level of TCDD in the liver was decreased by PCB 153. Increasing TCDD dosage led to an increase in PCB 153 levels. |
