Investigation of hyperkeratotic activity of polybrominated biphenyls in Firemaster FF-1. 1982

L L Needham, and R H Hill, and D L Orti, and D G Patterson, and R D Kimbrough, and D F Groce, and J A Liddle

A polybrominated biphenyl (PBB) mixture was fractionated by normal-phase preparative high-performance liquid chromatography. The hexane fractions were concentrated and applied to rabbit ears. Only the most polar fraction produced hyperkeratosis on the rabbit ears. This active fraction was subfractionated by using the same procedure. Again, the extent of hyperkeratotic activity increased with increasing polarity. The PBBs of the largest concentration levels in the active fraction were purified by preparative gas chromatography and tested on rabbit ears. The major compounds did not demonstrate hyperkeratotic activity.

D004423 Ear The hearing and equilibrium system of the body. It consists of three parts: the EXTERNAL EAR, the MIDDLE EAR, and the INNER EAR. Sound waves are transmitted through this organ where vibration is transduced to nerve signals that pass through the ACOUSTIC NERVE to the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM. The inner ear also contains the vestibular organ that maintains equilibrium by transducing signals to the VESTIBULAR NERVE.

D005260 Female Females
D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
