title: Effects of pure chlorobiphenyls (2,4',5-trichlorobiphenyl and 2,2',4,4',5,5'-hexachlorobiphenyl) on the post-natal growth in mice.
abstract: The post-natal growth rate of young mice, pre- and post-natally exposed to either 2,4',5-trichlorobiphenyl or 2,2',4,4',5,5',-hexachlorobiphenyl has been studied. The results show that both the chlorobiphenyls have the ability toincrease the post-natal growth rate in mice and they indicate that this ability of 2,4',5-trichlorobiphenyl is most pronounced in females whereas that of 2,2',4,4',5,5',-hexachlorobiphenyl is most pronounced in males.
