| Abstract | HEEP COPYRIGHT: BIOL ABS. Sixty female white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) were fed either ad lib or 70% ad lib diets for 5 wk. During the last 3 wk of feeding a polychlorinated biphenyl (Aroclor 1254) was incorporated into the diets at levels of 0, 25 or 100 ppm (based on ad lib intake). Polychlorinated biphenyl ingestion increased liver weights, reduced pentobarbital-induced sleep times, and generally reduced plasma corticoid levels but had no effect on reproductive organ weights or the incidence of estrus (as judged by vaginal smears). Feed restriction caused marked atrophy of the ovaries and uterus and reduced the incidence of estrus. |
