Abstract
Biliary metabolites of rats receiving 3H labeled 2,5,2'',5''-tetrachlorobiphenyl, a component of commercial polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) mixtures, include 3-OH-2,5,2'',5''-tetrachlorobiphenyl and a dihydrodiol tentatively identified as trans-3,4-dihydrodihydroxy-2,5,2'',5''-tetrachlorobiphenyl. Metabolism of PCBs in the rat probably occurs in part through an arene oxide intermediate. [PCBs are environmental pollutants.].This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
