Behavioral and neurological toxicity of polybrominated biphenyls in rats and mice.
Male, albino rats of the F-344/N strain and mice of the B6C3F1 strain were dosed by gavage, 5 days per week for a toal of 22 doses with 0.03--30 mg/kg of FireMaster FF-1, 0.168-16.8 Mg/kg of 2,4,5,2',4',5'-hexabromobiphenyl (HBB), or corn oil vehicle. A battery of tests was administered at the end of repeated dosing (30 day examination) and 30 days after dosing ceased (60 day test). FF-1 and, t...

متن کاملToxicity of polybrominated biphenyls Firemaster BP-6 in rodents.
Pregnant rodents were fed concentrations of a mixture of polybrominated biphenyls (Firemaster BP-6) during the pregnancy. The material appears to be weakly teratogenic, causing exencephaly and cleft palate in mice. Decreasing birth weight with increasing dosage of the material was seen in both mice and rats. Nonpregnant mice fed 1000 ppm Firemaster BP-6 for 11 days had a marked increase in live...
متن کاملEffect of polybrominated biphenyls on hepatic excretory function in rats and mice.
The purpose of this investigation was to determine the influence of polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs) on hepatic excretory function in developing and adult rats and mice. Prenatal or postnatal dietary exposure to PBBs (50 ppm in diet of pregnant or lactating mother or in diet of rat weanlings) resulted in elevated liver weight in developing rats. In 15-day-old rats that had been treated with PBBs...
