Description:
The compound 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) causes hepatocellular damage and porphyria in C57B1/6J mice, among a wide range of toxic effects. We compared the effect of TCDD toxicity in iron-deficient mice with that in mice receiving a normal diet. Porphyria did not develop in the iron-deficient animals, and these animals were also protected from hepatocellular damage and certain other toxic effects of TCDD.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Sweeny, G D -- Jones, K G -- Cole, F M -- Basford, D -- Krestynski, F -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 1979 Apr 20;204(4390):332-5.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/432648" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
