    Notizen: Abstract A defined mixture of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs and PCDFs) was subcutaneously administered to marmoset monkeys (Callithrix jacchus). Tissue concentrations in hepatic and adipose tissue were measured at different times after treatment (1–28 weeks). One week after application high concentrations could be detected for the 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners only. The percent of the administered dose in whole liver differed for the various 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners, ranging from 24.5±4.5% for 2,3,7,8-TCDD to 74.1±4.9% for 2,3,4,6,7,8-H6CDF. Therefore, the concentration ratio (liver/adipose tissue) was also very different, ranging from about 1 (2,3,7,8-T4CDD or 2,3,7,8-T4CDF) to 〉10 in the case of some higher chlorinated PCDDs and PCDFs. Half-lives of PCDDs and PCDFs were very different for the various 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners. For the most toxic compound (2,3,7,8-T4CDD) a t/2 of about 8 weeks in hepatic tissue and about 11 weeks in adipose tissue was found when calculated from data obtained later than 6 weeks after injection. For 2,3,7,8-T4CDD and 1,2,3,7,8-P5CDD the decreases in hepatic concentrations were much faster during the first 6 weeks after administration (t/2 of 4 weeks). This was apparently due to redistribution phenomena. Half-life increased with increasing degrees of chlorination. In some cases (e.g. OCDD, OCDF) no significant decrease in tissue concentrations could be observed after 28 weeks. The shortest t/2 was determined for 2,3,7,8-T4CDF: shorter than 6 days in hepatic tissue and about 10 days in adipose tissue. Calculation of the body burden of thenon-2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs/PCDFs 1 week after injection revealed that all groups of isomers were present at less than 5%. Consequences of these findings for the use of TCDD-toxic-equivalency factors are discussed and a change in strategy is suggested.

    Notizen: Abstract A defined mixture of polychlorinated dibenzop-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs and PCDFs) was subcutaneously administered to a pregnant marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus) 11 weeks prior to delivery. Transfer of PCDDs and PCDFs via placenta and mother's milk was investigated by measurement of concentrations in a newborn 1 day after birth and in an infant of the same litter after a lactation period of 33 days. Furthermore, comparative measurements were performed in different tissues of the mother at the end of the lactation period, and in addition, in two groups of four adult monkeys each 1 and 6 weeks after treatment. Deposition of the PCDDs and PCDFs into fetal liver was very low for most of the 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners. Highest deposition was observed for 2,3,7,8-T4CDD and 1,2,3,7,8-P5CDD. For all other compounds concentrations in the hepatic tissue of newborn shortly after birth were lower than one tenth of corresponding concentrations in adults. Especially for PCDFs, prenatal deposition in fetal liver was extremely low. Fetal liver is apparently largely unable to accumulate PCDDs/PCDFs. In contrast to liver, concentrations of 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs/PCDFs in adipose tissue of the newborn were at least one third of the levels in adults. However, concentrations of OCDD and OCDF were about three times higher in the newborn than in adult adipose tissue. Transfer of some of the 2,3,7,8-substituted PCDDs and PCDFs to the off-spring via mother's milk was considerable, leading to hepatic concentrations in the suckled infant at the end of the 33-day nursing period well above corresponding concentrations in the dam. When hepatic concentrations in the infant and dam were compared 2- to 4-fold higher concentrations were found in the infant's liver for 2,3,7,8-T4CDD/F and for 1,2,3,7,8-P5CDD. In the case of the 2,3,7,8-substituted H6CDDs, P5CDFs, and most of the H6CDFs, hepatic concentrations in the infant and dam were in the same range at the end of the suckling period. In contrast to this, less than one tenth the concentration of OCDD was found in the infant's liver when compared with adult liver. A corresponding phenomenon was observed for PCDFs. At the maximum absorption, 1 week after injection, for almost all 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners highest concentrations were measured in hepatic tissue of adult monkeys. This is especially true for those substances with six and more chlorine atoms. Besides adipose tissue, comparatively high levels were found in thymus and also in lung tissue. The limited data available point to a long persistence of some of the 2,3,7,8-substituted congeners in the thymus. Especially low concentrations of all the congeners were measured in the brain and testes.

    Notizen: Abstract The potency of 2,3,4,7,8-pentachlorodibenzofuran (P5CDF) and of three defined 2,3,7,8-TCDD-free mixtures of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDDs/PCDFs) to induce cleft palates in NMRI mice was studied. The data were compared with a dose-response curve for 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD). The slope of the dose-response curve for P5CDF was the same as for TCDD. However, application of the International-TCDD-Toxic-Equivalency (I-TE) factor (NATO/CCMS 1988) of 0.5 overestimated the potency of the pentachlorinated congener about 2.5-fold under these experimental conditions, suggesting 0.2 as a TE factor. When assessing the cleft palate frequency on the basis of I-TEs and the weight of the substances, the potencies of the two PCDF mixtures studied were also clearly overestimated. This result was not substantially changed when using the TE factor of 0.2 for P5CDF. For the PCDD mixture studied, the cleft palate-inducing potency found largely agreed with the prediction when applying the I-TE factors. According to our data, the use of TE factors as calculated by the UBA/BGA (1985) or the NATO/CCMS (1988) are both conservative when attempting to assess the cleft palate incidence induced by PCDF mixtures in mice.
