Absorption of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) through gills and skin of common carp, Cyprinus carpio L [PDF]

Acta Ichthyologica et Piscatoria, 1999
Gills and skin of mirror carp were exposed separately to Clophen A-50 in the concentration of 200 µg/dm3. After one hour, the content of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) was determined in the wet weight of the blood, muscles, and the skin as ...

Development of a Methodology for Determination of Dioxins and Dioxin-like PCBs in Meconium by Gas Chromatography Coupled to High-Resolution Mass Spectrometry (GC-HRMS)

Molecules, 2023
An analytical strategy was applied to investigate polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs), polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and dioxin-like polychlorinated biphenyls (dl-PCBs) in newborn meconium samples.

Inhalation Exposure to PCB from Contaminated Indoor Air—How Much Is Absorbed into the Blood?

Pollutants, 2021
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were used in many construction products until their banning in the 1970s and 1980s. Nonetheless, exposure to PCBs from contaminated indoor air is still an important public health issue.

Polychlorinated biphenyls-153 induces metabolic dysfunction through activation of ROS/NF-κB signaling via downregulation of HNF1b

Redox Biology, 2017
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) is a major type of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) that act as endocrine-disrupting chemicals. In the current study, we examined the mechanism underlying the effect of PCB-153 on glucose and lipid metabolism in vivo ...
