This study assessed the effects of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD), 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (PeCDF), and 2,3,7,8 tetrachlorodibenzofuran (TCDF) on the incidence of jaw lesions and on hepatic cytochrome P4501A (CYP1A) endpoints in mink (Mustela vison). Adult female mink were assi

High-accuracy molecular orbital calculation has been performed to investigate the atmospheric oxidation reaction of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzofuran (2,3,7,8-TeCDF) initiated by the OH radical in the presence of O(2) and NO/H(2)O. The possible channels involved in the reaction are discussed, and the

There are large differences in sensitivity to the toxic and biochemical effects of dioxins and dioxin-like compounds (DLCs) among vertebrates. Previously, we demonstrated that the difference in sensitivity between domestic chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) and common tern (Sterna hirundo) to aryl h
