Abstract In vivo administration of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) to rats produced significant alterations in Na-K, Ca, Mg ATPase and protein kinase activity, and receptor binding activity to insulin, concanavalin A, glucagon and epidermal growth factor in the canaliculi-rich plasma membrane fraction of the hepatocytes. Some of the changes are dose-related, and generally follow the time course of the sign of TCDD poisoning in the rat (e.g., the loss in body weight). Such TCDD-induced changes in membrane proteins and subsequent alteration in membrane functions appear to be extensive.
