چکیده
1. A: Blood level of PCBs before and after the treatment in nine subjects. Closed circles show blood PCB level of each subject. Open circles show the mean blood level of PCB. B: Correlation between initial PCB concentration and reduction ratio (%) of PCB after colestimide treatment. (R= 0.64) C: Correlation of alteration in PCB and dioxin level after colestimide treatment. Data expresses the percentage of the concentration after treatment compared to that before treatment. There is significant correlation in these alterations. (R=0.91) □ SHORT COMMUNICATION □

Effect of colestimide on the concentrations of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins, polychlorinated dizenzofurans, and polychlorinated biphenyls in blood of Yusho patients
BACKGROUND Oral colestimide was reported to lower the concentration of PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCB in the blood of humans. A pilot study showed that the arithmetic mean total TEQ concentrations of PCDDs, PCDFs, and PCBs in the blood of subjects after the trial decreased approximately 20 % compared to pre-trial levels, suggesting that colestimide could decrease human dioxin levels. We designed the cur...
متن کاملPolychlorinated biphenyl exposure and corticosterone levels in seven polar seabird species.
The role of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) on exposure-related endocrine effects has been poorly investigated in wild birds. This is the case for stress hormones including corticosterone (CORT). Some studies have suggested that environmental exposure to PCBs and altered CORT secretion might be associated. Here we investigated the relationships between blood PCB concentrations and circulating ...
متن کاملAssociation of blood pressure and PCB level in yusho patients.
Correlations of blood polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) levels or PCB patterns and blood pressures were studied in 59 patients with yusho (PCB poisoning) above 40 years old. In spite of the passage of 13 years from the onset, 52.5% of these patients still have PCB levels higher than the range found in the general population. The frequency of hypertension in the patients was 16.9%, a value similar ...
متن کاملPolychlorinated biphenyl levels in the blood of Japanese individuals ranging from infants to over 80 years of age
Individuals' exposure to various persistent organic pollutants (POPs), including polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), and its adverse health effects have been a cause of concern. We measured blood PCB concentrations from samples taken from 507 Japanese individuals ranging from infants to those over 80 years of age. The blood PCB levels increased with age for both male (Spearman's r = 0.69, p < 0.0...
متن کاملPrenatal Exposure to a Polychlorinated Biphenyl (PCB) Congener Influences Fixation Duration on Biological Motion at 4-Months-Old: A Preliminary Study
Adverse effects of prenatal exposure to polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) congeners on postnatal brain development have been reported in a number of previous studies. However, few studies have examined the effects of prenatal PCB exposure on early social development. The present study sought to increase understanding of the neurotoxicity of PCBs by examining the relationship between PCB congener c...
