The neurotoxicological consequences of developmental exposure to PCBs.

چکیده
The articles highlighted in this issue are three reports by Kevin Crofton and colleagues dealing with neuromodulatory effects of PCB (Gilbert, Mundy, and Crofton, pp. 102-111; Roegge et al., pp. 121-130; and Crofton et al., pp. 131-140).

ATSDR - Public Health Implications of Exposure to PCBs
This paper summarizes the health implications associated with exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), primarily through fish consumption. Recent studies complement and add to the scientific data gathered over the last two decades that document health consequences associated with exposures to PCBs. Although much of the research has been undertaken in the Great Lakes basin, the health impli...
متن کاملNeurobehavioral toxicity of methylmercury and PCBs Effects-profiles and sensitive populations.
A large and growing body of literature is available on the neurotoxicity of methylmercury and PCBs as expressed in the behavior of both humans and laboratory animals. Methylmercury and PCBs will be compared with PCBs with attention directed at overlaps and distinctions in their profiles of neurotoxicity. It is possible with methylmercury and, to a lesser extent, with PCBs to characterize the se...
متن کاملDevelopmental coexposure to polychlorinated biphenyls and polybrominated diphenyl ethers has additive effects on circulating thyroxine levels in rats.
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are widespread environmental contaminants found in seafood and dairy products. PCBs and PBDEs are structurally similar chemicals and affect thyroid hormone function and behavior in children and laboratory rodents. Although coexposure frequently exists, the in vivo developmental effects of combined exposure to PCBs and P...

Background and Objective: Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are toxic, persistent, bio-accumulate and pose a risk of causing adverse effects on human health and to the environment. PCB compounds exert varios impacts on human depending upon age, route of entry, intensity and frequency of exposure. This study was conducted to determine the effect of UV-C, hydrogen peroxide and solvent on the photo...
متن کاملEstimation of Polychlorinated Biphenyls Intake through Fish Oil-Derived Dietary Supplements and Prescription Drugs in the Japanese Population
Background: Oily fish and their extracted oils may be a source of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) which can induce toxic effects on the consumers. The main aim of this survey was estimation of PCBs intake through fish oil-derived dietary supplements and prescription drugs in the Japanese population. Methods: PCBs levels were determined in 20 fish oil-derived dietary supplements and 6 oil-deri...
