Nonpregnant mice fed 1000 ppm Firemaster BP-6 for 11 days had a marked increase in live...
متن کاملEM changes and other toxic effects of firemaster BP-6 (polybrominated biphenyls) in the mouse.
Groups of Swiss ICR mice were fed 1000 ppm polybrominated biphenyls (FireMaster BP-6) in rodent chow for 4, 8, 11, and 14 days. Control groups were fed standard rodent chow without FireMaster BP-6. Animals were killed at the end of each feeding period and the livers examined by electron microscopy. EM changes noted were progressive increase in size of hepatocytes, a decrease in rough endoplasmi...
