homeostasis/metabolism
• after dioxin treatment (64 ug/kg) mice show increased levels of liver inflammation and serum ALT but lower levels of hydropic degeneration
|
• injection of hexachlorobenzene and Fe dextran followed by water born exposure to 5-aminolevulinate fails to increase urinary or hepatic uroporphyrin levels unlike in wild-type mice
(J:81115)
• however, levels of nonheme iron in the liver are similar to wild-type mice
(J:81115)
• dietary PCB exposure combined with a subcutaneous dose of iron fails to induce hepatic pophyria after 7 weeks unlike in wild-type mice
(J:97596)
• after 57 weeks of continued dietary PCB exposure homozygotes fail to develop preneoplastic foci or hepatic adenomas unlike wild-type mice; however other liver changes (cellular hypertrophy, focal inflammation, and bile duct proliferation) are similar to wild type mice
(J:97596)
|
• after 57 weeks of continued dietary PCB exposure homozygotes fail to develop preneoplastic foci or hepatic adenomas unlike wild-type mice
|
• the distribution of TCDD (liver/adipose ratio) is about 15 times less than in wild-type mice
|
liver/biliary system
• basal and TCDD-induced NADPH-dependent H2O2 production in hepatic microsomes are increased compared to wild-type mice
|
neoplasm
• after 57 weeks of continued dietary PCB exposure homozygotes fail to develop preneoplastic foci or hepatic adenomas unlike wild-type mice
