Abstract |
Oral administration of 4 weekly doses of 25 micrograms/kg 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin resulted in induction of delta-aminolevulinic acid synthetase and hepatic porphyria in mice. There was a 2,000-fold increase in the liver content of 8- and 7-carboxyporphyrins. A single lethal oral dose of 150 micrograms/kg 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin also resulted in a 4,000-fold increase in uroporphyrins in the liver. Doses of tetrachlorofibenzo-p-dioxin which resulted in porphyria also resulted in microscopic evidence of marked liver damage and a moderate increase in the total iron content of the liver. At this time, 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin, a contaminant of a variety of environmenal chemicals, is the most potent porphyrogenic chemical known. |
