Abstract The effects of p,p'-DDT (50293) or PCB (polychlorinated biphenyls) on the hepatic cytochrome P-450 contents and on the weights of androgen dependent male sex organs in intact and castrated testosterone treated male mice have been studied. The results obtained show that hepatic cytochrome P-450 contents are significantly higher in the DDT or PCB treated animals than in the controls; that dry weights of the seminal vesicles in the DDT or PCB treated castrated animals are significantly lower than in the castrated controls, whereas no such difference exists in the intact animals; and that dry weights of the testes in the DDT or PCB treated animals do not differ significantly from those in the controls.
