Reductive dechlorination of chlorobiphenylols by rats. 1977

M T Tulp, and W A Bruggeman, and O Hutzinger

Dechlorinated products were isolated from the urine of rats that were administered chlorobiphenylols, the primary hydroxylated metabolites of PCB in mammals. The mechanism of chlorine loss from chlorobiphenylols is different from the mechanism of dechlorination via arene oxides whereby concomitant hydroxylation is always observed.

D010084 Oxidation-Reduction A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471). Redox,Oxidation Reduction
