Teratogenicity of polybrominated biphenyls in rats [PDF]

Environmental Research, 1977
Abstract The teratogenic potential of a mixture of polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) was investigated. Pregnant Wistar albino rats were given single doses of PBB in seasame oil by gavage on one day of pregnancy, from day 6 through 14 (sperm day = 0). The dose ranged from 40 to 800 mg/kg maternal body weight.
