Abstract excerpt
We have used zebrafish and 3,3',4,4',5-pentachlorobiphenyl (PCB126) to investigate the developmental toxicity of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) that exert their effects through the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR). We found that cardiac and neural crest (NC)-derived jaw and branchial cartilages are specifically targeted early in development. The suite of malformations, which ultimately leads to circulatory...
