Liver aryl 4-monooxygenase activity in the progeny of hens receiving dietary polychlorinated biphenyls.
1. The effects of relatively small concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in the diet of hens on the hepatic microsomal aryl 4-monooxygenase [EC 1.14.14.1] activity in their progeny were investigated. 2. PCB caused enhanced activity of aryl 4-monooxygenase in the progeny.
