title: Genetic, iron status and sex factors of porphyria induced by hexachlorobenzene.
abstract: This study explored the influence of genetic strain, sex and iron on the development of hexachlorobenzene (HCB)-induced porphyria in mice and rats. Results are discussed in terms of the mechanism of action and comparison with human exposure to the chemical.
