Abstract excerpt
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are persistent environmental pollutants, whose hydroxylated metabolites (OH-PCBs) accumulate in humans and may exhibit more potent effects than their parent compounds. This study investigated serum concentrations of several persistent OH-PCBs and their parent PCBs in 129 Japanese participants, with a focus on the influence of the CYP2A6*4 gene deletion variant on OH-PCB formation...
