Abstract excerpt
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD),12 the most toxic congener of dioxins, exhibits wide sensitivity differences between a sensitive Long-Evans (L-E) rat and a resistant Han/Wistar (H/W) rat. The sensitivity is determined probably by two autosomal genes and it is highly end point dependent. The difference is more than 1000-fold for acute toxicity and negligible for CYP1A1 induction. The rat strains were...
