title: [Polychlorinated biphenyl intoxication and nutrition. III. Effect of vitamin A deficiency on PCB storage in the rat (author's transl)].
abstract: Rats were fed two dietary variations containing 10 ppm of Phenoclor DP6 (a commercial PCB mixture) for 15 days. Compared to the normal diet, rats fed a vitamin A deficient diet had a same curve of DP6 storage in liver and carcase fat. The intestinal absorption of DP6 was unaffected by vitamin A deficiency. The accumulation of DP6 in the rat organism was body-growth independent.
