General description

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is a highly distributed environmental contaminant[1], released by industrial activities, which can act like as a reproductive toxicant and endocrine disruptor in all vertebrates.[2]
2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin is the most potent congener of dioxins and dioxin-like chemicals, which can exert adverse effects in laboratory animals used in testing.[3]

Application

2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin solution has been used as standard in investigating the effect of 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin to offsprings of fish, using high performance gas chromatography coupled with high performance mass spectrometry (HPGC-HPMS).[2]

Our previous studies have shown that treatment of pregnant rats with 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD; 1 μg/kg) at gestational day (GD) 15 reduces the pituitary synthesis of luteinizing hormone (LH) during the late fetal and early postnatal period, leading to the imprinting

Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs) are persistent, bioaccumulative and toxic chemicals. These compounds are transferred to breast milk, therefore breastfed infants are at risk of being exposed to considerable amounts of PCBs and PCDD/Fs during

Atmospheric depositions of polychlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins and dibenzofurans (PCDD/Fs) and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) were monitored at three sites in the vicinity of a steel making plant, located in an Italian alpine valley. A high variability in the deposition of PCDD/Fs was
