Absorption of polychlorinated biphenyl by the ovine lymphatic system.
A method is presented for studying the absorption of the lipophilic toxin polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) from the intestine to the lymphatic system. Concentrations of the toxin were high in mesenteric lymph nodes and in the thoracic duct lymph.
