  • Title: Interactive cytogenetic effects on rat bone-marrow due to chronic ingestion of 2,5,2',5' and 3,4,3',4' PCBs.
    Author: Meisner LF, Roloff B, Sargent L, Pitot H.
    Journal: Mutat Res; 1992 Nov; 283(3):179-83. PubMed ID: 1383786.
    Abstract:
    Rats who were fed low doses of single PCBs, either 2,5,2',5' or 3,4,3',4', did not demonstrate any chromosome breakage or mitotic changes in their bone marrow cells. However, there was a significant increase in chromosome damage observed in bone marrow cells of rats ingesting 10 ppm 2,5,2',5' plus 0.1 ppm 3,3,3',4' in combination. It is suggested that this PCB combination, previously found to cause superadditive chromosome damage in vitro, is also capable of causing chromosome damage in vivo, but these effects do not compromise cell proliferation because the mitotic index is not depressed.
