Abstract excerpt
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are a class of persistent organic pollutants with myriad biological effects, including carcinogenicity. We present data showing gender-specific genotoxicity in Fischer 344 transgenic BigBlue rodents exposed to 4-chlorobiphenyl (PCB3), a hydroxylated metabolite, and the positive control 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) where female rats are more resistant to the genotoxic effects of the...
