Abstract excerpt
The contribution of genetic factors to adult male reproductive system toxicity of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) was analyzed in three rat lines differentially resistant to TCDD acute lethality: line A, B, and C rats (selectively bred from TCDD-resistant Han/Wistar [Kuopio; H/W] and TCDD-sensitive Long-Evans [Turku/AB; L-E] rats). The resistance is linked to a mutated H/W-type aryl hydrocarbon...
