Dietary taurine alters ascorbic acid metabolism in rats fed diets containing polychlorinated biphenyls.
The effect of dietary taurine on ascorbic acid metabolism and hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes was investigated in rats fed diets containing polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) to determine whether taurine has an adaptive and protective function in xenobiotic-treated animals. Young male Wistar rats (60 g) were fed diets containing 0 or 0.2 g/kg diet PCB with or without 30 g/kg diet of taurine for ...
متن کاملPolychlorinated Biphenyls
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are industrial compounds with multiple industrial and commercial uses (Table 41.1). PCBs are chemically inert and stable when heated. These properties contribute greatly to PCBs having become environmental contaminants. The chemical inertness and heat stability properties that make PCBs desirable for industry also protect them from destruction when the products ...
متن کاملBiological Effects of Polychlorinated Biphenyls in Rats and Quail
Estrogenic activity was assessed by determining the stimulation of the uterine glycogen response of the immature rat uterus 18 hours after administration of the test compound(1). The potency of active compounds is reported in terms of the minimal subcutaneous dose which will increase glycogen to a level significantly different from control. In a series of 11 polychlorinated biphenyls and terphe...
متن کاملEffects of dietary polychlorinated biphenyls on cholesterol catabolism in rats.
Dietary polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) caused hypercholesterolaemia in rats. The concentration and output of biliary cholesterol was significantly lower than that of the control group. Biliary output of total bile acids was significantly decreased in rats given the PCB-supplemented diet. Faecal excretion of total steroids (sum of neutral steroids and acidic steroids) was not significantly cha...
متن کاملPerinatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls alters social behaviors in rats.
Perinatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) leads to significant alterations of neural and hormonal systems. These alterations have been shown to impair motor and sensory development. Less is known about the influence of PCB exposure on developing emotional and motivational systems involved in social interactions and social learning. The present study examined the impact of perinatal...
