 | | Hayes MA; Roberts E; Roomi MW; Safe SH; Farber E; Cameron RG The influences of in vivo treatment with two pure PCB congeners, 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl (HCBP) and 3,3',4,4'-tetrachlorobiphenyl (TCBP), on the lethal cytotoxicity of bromobenzene and acetaminophen were examined in short-term primary cultures of isolated rat hepatocytes. |
 | | The HCBP, a PB-type inducer of cytochrome P-450, resembled phenobarbitone (PB) in its ability to increase susceptibility of hepatocytes to bromobenzene (0.5 to 1.6 mM) and acetaminophen (1 to 16 mM). |
 | | The 3,3',4,4'-TCPB, a 3-MC-type inducer of cytochrome P-450, resembled 3-methylcholanthrene (3-MC) in its inability to induce susceptibility to bromobenzene. |
