Reproductive, immunologie, and cytogenetic effects of dietary 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachloroazoxybenzene exposure to mice
The effects of chronic dietary exposure to 3,3′,4,4′-tetrachloroazoxybenzene (TCAOB) on the reproductive efficiency of female Swiss-Webster mice were measured. The immunocompetence of their offspring was assay...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclors® 1016 and 1242): Effect on hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidases in mink and ferrets
A comparison was made of the induction responses of two PCBs (Aroclors 1016 and 1242) on the hepatic microsomal mixed function oxidase (MFO) system in two genetically similar species, mink and European ferrets...

Polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclors 1016 and 1242): Effects on survival and reproduction in mink and ferrets
Diets that contained various levels of supplemental Aroclor® 1242 or Aroclor® 1016 were fed to mink and ferrets to investigate the chronic toxicity of these PCBs in two closely related species.
