(And is it high in PCBs?) I looked it up: George Tenet is fifty-one.
It's a fascinating product with a very specific audience and if I was smart enough to need to make PCBs I'd totally pick one up.
Other compounds possess dioxin-like properties, notably some polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), i.e. the dioxin-like PCBs (DL-PCBs).
Consistent with these data from the literature, our results show that both coplanar PCBs (i.e., PCB126) and non-coplanar PCBs (i.e., PCB104, PCB118, and PCB153) stimulate phosphorylation of p47 and its interaction with other key NOX subunit proteins.
Based on the mechanism of action observed in the present study with PBDEs and those reported earlier for ortho-substituted PCBs (i.e., disruption of Ca2+ homeostasis), a cumulative neurotoxic effect (on [Ca2+] i) of both groups of compounds can not be ruled out.

Here, we investigate the hypothesis that the cytochrome P450 (P450) enzyme-mediated oxidation of chiral PCBs results in species-dependent differences in the chiral signatures of OH-PCBs (i.e., the direction and extent of OH-PCBs' atropisomenrichmenthmenrichment
After adjusting for age and abstinence time, for below reference sperm motility there was a greater than additive interaction between monobenzyl phthalate and PCB-153 [relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) = 1.40; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.41 3.22], sum of PCBs (RERI = 1.24; 95% CI, 0.15 2.94), and cytochrome P450 (CYP450 -inducing CYP450 -inducing0; 95% CI, 0.21–3.06).
This interpretation was confirmed by showing that the mixtures of all noncoplanar PCBs together (i.e., PCBs 105, 118, 138, and 153), or separated by their ortho-substitution pattern (i.e., PCBs 105/118 or 138/153), required the presence of PCB 126 to activate the DR4 construct in GH3 cells.
After adjustment for age and abstinence time, there was a greater than additive interaction between MBP and sum of enzyme-inducing PCBs (RERI = 1.87; 95% CI, 0.56 4.52) for the risk of below reference sperm motility.
The slightly smaller decrease in C-PCB concentrations than for C-PCB TEQs (i.e. -1% vs. -14%) is because concentrations of PCB77 increased for 4 of the 8 women, but the small TEF of this congener (i.e. 0.0001) resulted in the increase having little effect on the mean C-PCB TEQs.
"The only PCB's I ever seen in the river was perch, catfish and bass," Mr. Crawford said.
