| Abstract | Blood polychlorinated-biphenyl (1336363) (PCB) and serum triglyceride (TG) levels in 42 subjects diagnosed as having PCB poisoning were analyzed. Blood PCB was studied using gas chromatography and TG was determined under a cooperative triglyceride standardization program. Only recently has the gas-chromatogram pattern of blood PCB been correlated with simultaneously measured serum triglyceride values. PCB in the blood was classified into three types, A, B, and C, according to peak in a gas chromatographic pattern. The A type was most specific for Yusho (biphenyl poisoning) patients. The B pattern was characteristically close to the A pattern. Type C could not be distinguished from that of healthy individuals. There were 26 cases for type A, 14 in type B, and two with the type C pattern. A positive correlation between PCB concentration and TG values were found with group A having both the highest PCB concentrations and TG values. However, the behavior of PCB and TG varied somewhat depending on the severity of PCB poisoning, suggesting that PCB was an exogenous foreign body whereas the TG increase was a phenomenon caused by a secondary PCB induced reaction. Presently, the only objective symptom is a biochemical abnormality, high serum triglyceride levels. (Japanese: English translation available) |
