Recent governmental sampling data Indicate the presence of Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs) and comparable chemical substances in the a ir , in water bodies, and in fish in several areas of the country. In order to determine the nature and extent of the possible adverse e ffe c ts resulting from the presence of PCB compounds in the environment, the Environmehtal Protection Agency (EPA), in cooperation with other federal and State agencies, is attempting to determine the sources and amounts of PCBs entering the environment. I t is important that th is e ffo rt be carried out without delay.
I t is our understanding that your company handles PCB compounds
or mixtures or comparable chemical substances in it s operations. I
am therefore requesting, pursuant to the authority provided by

REPORT TO MONSANTO COMPANY TWO-YEAR CIHNARRAOONLCBICLINOOORRRA1A2L6T0TSOXICITY WITH NOVEMBER 12, 1971
IBT NO. B7298 L Introduction
At the request of Monsanto Company, a two-year chronic oral toxicity study was conducted using albino rats to determ ine the potential toxicity of A roclor 1260, Lot No. AK-3. The following report presents the results of this investigation.

n . Summary A two-year chronic toxicity study was conducted using albino rats
fed diets containing 1 (T-I). 10 (T-II), or 100 (T-III) ppm Aroclor 1260. Food consumption and body weight gains were not altered at any
level of A roclor 1260 fed. The number of animals dying and the time at which the deaths occurred did not vary among the test and control groups.
Hem atological and clinical blood chemistry studies conducted after 3i 6, 9, 12 IS or 24 months did not reveal any affects related to Aroclo 1260. Urine analyses failed to reveal any differences between test and control animals.
At sacrifice after 3, 6, or 12 months on test organ weights organ to body weight and organ to brain weight ratios disclosed several randomly occurring intergroup differences. The lack of any consistent dose related response and the absence of any deleterious histopathologic change confirrr that these differences were not related to the ingestion of Aroclor 1260.
At the final sacrifice after 24 months on test, the liver weights and liver to body weight or brain weight ratios were significantly elevated in the rats from the T-UX group. Histologic examination of the livers from the T-IU group revealed several animals with vacuolar change. This lesion is morphologically indicative of fatty degeneration. Specific fat tains confIi-ned the presence of fat in these vacuoles. Focal hypertrophy and focal hyperplasia were also found in the livers from animals fed Aroclc
1260.

H yperplasia of the urinary bladder was found in an animal from the control group but not in any of the test anim als.
The incidences and types of all tumors were about the same in all groups, including the control group, and are considered normal for rats of this age.

A. Experim ental Animals
! The anim als employed in the test were Charles River stra in '
albino ra ts. Four hundred rats (200 m ales and 200 fem ales)
were selected for the experiment, ear-punched with the animal number
assigned and housed individually in standard wire-bottom ed steel rat
cages. Each cage bore a color-coded card identifying the rat with r e
spect to project-num ber, dose level assignm ent, individual anim al
number and sex.

Q c cC. Diets, Feeding and Food Consumption AH diets were prepared in the central diet room of this laboratory. The basic ration from which all diets were constructed was a standard, pulverized stock rat ration*. The diet for any given test group was prepared by blending the calculated amount of A rodor 1260 with a pra-weighed portion of the stock ration in a Hobart m ixer. . Fresh diets were prepared each week and every rat was offered an amount of food sufficient for ad libitum feeding. Food consumption was recorded for five rats of each sex in ever} group weekly for the first three months and monthly for the next nine months. Thereafter, periodic spot checks were made.
D. Bodv Weights and Weight Cains Initially, the.body weight of each rat in every group was deter*
C mined and recorded. Thereafter, individual weighings were made weekly for the first 13 weeks and m onthly thereafter until the conclusion of the investigation.________ __________ ________ ___________ E. M ortality and Reactions * " - Checks for m ortality and abnormal behavioral reactions were .made daily throughout the investigation. 7-7* F.

Urine analyses for the presence of glucose, albumin, m icro scopic elem ents, and determ inations of pH and specific gravity w ere con ducted upon urine sam ples at the same time intervals and from the sam e anim als as those employed for the blood studies.
These studies w ere conducted after 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 m onths of feeding.
G. Clinical Blood Chem istry Studies Determ inations of blood urea nitrogen concentration (BUN),
serum alkaline phosphatase activity (SAP), fasted blood glucose .concen tration and serum glutam ic-pyruvic transam inase activity (SGPT) were conducted a fter 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months of feeding upon the sam e rats as were the routine blood studies.
-- H. Pathologic Studies - --When an anim al succumbed during the test period, a gross autopsy
was perform ed. In those cases when postm ortem autolysis was not ad vanced, representative tissues were taken and preserved in ten percent form alin solution for possible future histopathologic study.
A fter 3, 6, and 12 months of testing, five anim als of each sex from each group were sacrificed and subjected to complete gross pathologic exam inations.

Absolute organ weights w ere recorded and organ to body weight
and organ to brain weight ratio* computed. The following organs w ere
included: liver, kidneys, spleen, gonads, heart and brain. These data
w ere then subjected to statistical analysis. An Analysis of Variance was
conducted first and significant effects disclosed by that treatment were
further studied by "f'-tests.
Complete m icroscopic examinations were conducted upon the
tissu es and organs from all control and 100 ppm group rats sacrificed
a fte r 3, 6, o r 12 months of testing. The following tissues and organs w er
included in the examinations: heart, trachea, lungs, liver, pancreas,
esophagus, stomach, sm all intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum),
caecum, colon, spleen, lymph nodes, kidneys, urinary bladder, gonads,
prostate gland, seminal vesicles, uterus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands,
salivary glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, skeletal muscle, ;
sternum , bone, peripheral nerve, spinal cord and brain (cerebrum,
cerebellum and pons).
The aforementioned tissues were prepared and stained with
Hematoxylin-Eosin stain.

A fter two years of feeding, all surviving anim als were sacrific* e d
and subjected to complete gross pathologic exam ination.
The absolute weights of the liver, kidneys, spleen, gonads,
heart and brain were recorded immediately after sacrifice.

C . Histopathologic Findings
Histopathologic examination of tissues taken from each r a t sacrificed from the control and 100 ppm groups after twelve m onths of testing was conducted.
Tables XXXV and XXXVI list all hisopathologic changes noted.
All of the lesions noted in the m icroscopic exam ination of tissues w ere those of spontaneous disease and are not unusual for the albino rat. The m ost frequent findings were lesions in the trachea and lungs, indicating chronic murine pneumonia. These occurred in the contr as well as the rats fed Aroclor 1260.

a. Cross Pathologic Fir.dir.es Gross pathologic fundings among test animals were not
significantly different from those noted in control anim als. b. Organ Weight and Ratio Data The mean organ weight and ratio data collected at the
final sacrifice are presented in Tables XXXVII through XLII. Statistically significant differences are designated by asterisks following the test group value. f Absolute liver weights and liver to body weight or liver
o to brain weight ratios w ere significantly elevated in those rats fed 100 ppm A roclor 1260. Other organ weights, organ to body weight and organ to bra weight ratios disclosed several randomly occurring intergroup differences, The lack of any consistent dose related response and the absence of any deleterious histopathologic change confirm that these differences were not related to the ingestion of A roclor 1260

c. Histopathologic Findings
Histopathologic examination of tissues and organs taken from all anim als sacrificed after 24 m onths on test was conducted.
Tables XLIII through XLVI list all histopathologic chans noted." Table XLVI2 contains the results of the histopathologic exam inatic of the urinary bladders.
Significant liver injury was found in anim als fed 100 pprr A roclor 1260 (T-III). The compound associated lesions consisted of vacuc change, focal hypertrophy and focal hyperplasia. In addition, there w ere lesions of inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis and minor degeneration in this group which, although seen in the controls and low er test groups, w ere me severe and frequent in the T-III group.
The vacuolar change was not seen in the control anim als but was observed occasionally in livers from T -I (1ppm) and T-U (10 ppm) anim als. It was frequent in the T-III anim als. This lesion is morphologic indicative of fatty degeneration. Form alin*frozen sections of livers from represenative anim als which displayed vacuolar changes were stained with Oil Red 0 to reveal the presence of fat. The vacuolar lesion in the cytoplat of these cells was positively identified as fat.
The hypertrophic change found in the liver was focal and often lim ited to the central lobular area where groups of cells were swollen to two or three times their norm al size with clear pink homogenous cytopla: The hyperplasia was associated with the same cells and appeared to be an

c wo
extension of the hypertrophic lesion. The hyperplastic cells were also usually hypertrophic. The most severe exam ples of hyperplasia appear as nodular growths with limited com pression of the surrounding norm al hepatic tissue.
The minor lesions of degeneration, hepatitis, ductule c proliferation, necrosis and focal lymphoid infiltration seen in the control anim als and the T -Iand T-H groups are lesions of spontaneous disease a; are not related to the Aroclor 1260. This level of liver disease is not uni in old anim als.
Hyperplasia of the urinary bladder was found in an anim from the control group. This finding was not present in any of the ra ts it A roclor 1260. All of the other lesions in other tissues found in these anir a re related to spontaneous disease and they are not unusual for old ra ts.

NOVEMBER 12, 1971 1BT NO. B7298
L Introduction At the request of Monsanto Company, a tw o-year chronic o ral
toxicity study was conducted using albino rats to determ ine the potential toxicity of Aroclor 1254, Lot No. AK-38. The following report represent: the results of this investigation.

2. Summary
A tw o-year chronic toxicity study was conducted using albino rats
fed diets containing 1 (T-I), 10 (T-II) or 100 (T - III) ppm A roclor 1254.
Food consum ption was not altered in any test group. Body weight gains
of te st and control anim als did not differ after 3 or 12 months of testing.
A fter 24 m onths fem ales fed 100 ppm A roclor 1254 had gained less w eight
than the control fem ales. Weight gains of the male rats did not differ
from the controls. The number of anim als dying and the time at which death
occurred did not differ among test and control groups.
Hem atological and clinical blood chem istry studies conducted after
3, 6, 9. 12. 18, or 24 months did not reveal any affects related to A roclor
1254. U rine analyses failed to reveal any difference between test and
-control rats.
.
!
At sa c rific e after 3, 6, or 12 months on te st, organ w eights, organ to
body weight and organ to brain weight ratios disclosed several random ly
occurring intergroup differences. The lack of any consistent dose related
response and the absence of any deleterious histopathologic change confirm
that these differences were not related to the ingestion of Aroclor 1254.
At and liv in both
the final sacrifice after 24 months on te st, the absolute liver w eight er to body weight or brain weight ratios were significantly elevated T-I1I m ales and fem ales. Histologic exam inations of the liv e rs
i
i*
fro m the T -III group revealed several anim als v. ilh vacuolar change.

T his lesion is m orphologically indicative- of fatty degeneration. Specific fat stains confirm ed the presence of fat in these vacuoles. Focal h y p ertro p and focal hyperplasia were also found in the livers from anim als fed A roclor 1254.
H yperplasia of the urinary bladder was found in anim als from the contr: group and from each of the test groups. This hyperplasia was usually associated with cystitis.
None of the tum ors found could be related to the ingestion of A roclor 1254 and are considered norm al for a random population of rats this age.

III. Procedure
A. Experim ental Animals
The anim als employed in the test w ere C harles River Strain*
albino rats. F our hundred rats (200 male and 200 female) were selected
for the experim ent, ear-punched with the anim al num ber assigned and
housed individually in standard w ire-bottom ed steel rat cages. Each
cage bore a color-coded card identifying the rat with respect to project
number, dietary level assignment, individual number and sex.
B. O rganization of Groups
A stru ctural outline of the experim ent is given in Table I.

C. Dicta, Feeding and Food Consumption
All diets were prepared in the central diet room of this
laboratory. The basic ration from which all diets were constructed
was a standard, pulverized stock ra t ration*. The diet for any given te st
group was prepared by blending the calculated amount of Aroclor 1254
with a pre-w eighed portion of the stock ration in a Hobart m ixer.
F resh diets were prepared each week and every rat was offered
an amount of food sufficient for ad libitum feeding.
Food consumption was recorded for five rats of each sex in every,
group weekly for the first three months and monthly for the next nine
months. Thereafter, periodic spot checks were made.
D. Body W eights and '''eight Gains
Initially, the body weight of each rat in every group was deter*
mined and recorded. Thereafter, individual weighings were made weekly
for the firs t 13 weeks and monthly th erea fte r until the conclusior--n of the investigation.
E. M ortality and Reactions
Checks for m ortality and abnorm al behavioral reactions w ere m ade
daily throughout the investigation.
F. Hem atologic Studies and Urine Analyses

tion, hem atocrit value, erythrocyte count and both total and differential

leukocyte counts, were conducted upon five m ales and five females from both the control and 100 ppm groups.
e U rine analyses for the presence of glucose, albumin, m icro scopic elem ents, and determ inations of pH and specific gravity w ere con ducted upon urine samples at the same time intervals and from the same anim als as those employed for the blood studies.
These studies were conducted after 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months of feeding.
G. Clinical Blood Chem istry Studies Determ inations of blood urea nitrogen concentration (BUN),
serum alkaline phosphatase activity (SAP), fasted blood glucose concen tration and serum glutamic-pyruvic transam inase activity (SGPT) were conducted a fter 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 m onths of feeding upon the sam e rats as were the routine blood studies.
H. Pathologic Studies When an anim al succumbed during the test period, a gross autopsy
was perform ed. In those case when postm ortem autolysis was not ad vanced, representative tissues were taken and preserved in ten percent formalin solution for possible future histopathologic study.
A fter 3, 6, and 12 months of testing, five anim als of each sex fro m each group were sacrificed and subjected to complete gross pathologic exam inations.
Absolute organ weights were recorded and organ to body weight and organ to brain weight ratios computed. The following organs were

/
included: liver, kidneys, spleen, gonads, heart and brain. These data w ere then subjected to statistical analysis. An Analysis of Variance was conducted first and significant effects disclosed by that treatm ent were further studies by "t"-tests.
Complete m icroscopic examinations w ere conducted upon the tissu e s and organs from all control and TOO ppm group anim als sacrificed a fte r 3, 6, or 12 m onths of testing. The following tissu es and organs w ere included in the examinations: heart, trachea, lungs, liver, pancreas, esophagus, stomach, sm all intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum), caecun colon, spleen, lymph nodes, kidneys, urinary bladder, gonads, prostate gland, sem inal vesicles, uterus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, salivary glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, skeletal m uscle, sternum , b one, p erip h eral n erve, spinal cord and b rain .(cereb ru m , cerebellum and pons).
The aforementioned tissues were prepared and stained with Hematoxyiin-Eosin stain.
A fter two years of feeding, all surviving anim als were sacrificed and subjected to complete gross pathologic exam ination.
The absolute weights of the liver, kidneys, spleen, gonads, h eart and brain were recorded immediately after sacrifice.
M icroscopic examinations were conducted upon tissues and organs from selected anim als dying during the experim ent and upon all anim als frorr the final sacrifice.

Histopathologie examination of tissues and organs taken from all anim als from both the control and 100 ppm groups was conducted.
Tables XIX and XX list all histopathologic changes noted.
All of the lesions noted in the m icroscopic exam ination of tissues were those of spontaneous disease and are not unusual for the albino rat. The most frequent findings were lesions in the trachea and lungs, indicating chronic murine pneumonia. These oc curred in the control as well as the rats fed A roclor 12S4.

taken from a ll anim als from both the control and 100 ppm groups w as conducted.
Tables XXVII and XXVIII list all histopathologic changes noted.
All of the lesions noted in the m icroscopic exam ination of tissues w ere those of spontaneous disease and are not unusual for the albino rat. The m ost frequent findings w ere lesions in the trachea and lungs, indicating chronic murine pneumonia. These occurred in the control as w ell as the rats fed Aroclor 1254.

C. Histopatholocic Findincs
Histopathologic examination of tissues and organs taken from all anim als sacrificed after 24 months on test was conducted.
Tables XLIIt through XLVI list all histopathologic chan; noted. Table XLVU contains the results of the histopathologic exam inatio of the urinary bladders.
~ Significant liver injury was found in anim als fed 100 ppn A roclor 1254 (T-III). The compound associated lesions consisted of vacuolar change, focal hypertrophy and focal hyperplasia. In addition, there were lesions of inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis and m inor de* generation, w ere more severe and frequent in the T-III group..
The vacuolar change was not seen in the control anim als
but was observed occasionally in liv ers from T -I (1 ppm) and T -II (10 ppm
anim als. It was frequent in the T-III anim als. This lesion is m orphologic
indicative of fatty degeneration. Form alin-frozen sections of livers from
representative animals which displayed vacuolar changes were stained with
Oil Red 0 to reveal the presence of fat. The vacuolar lesion in the cytoplai
of
these
cells
was positively idenified as fat. The hypertrophic changes found
in
the
liver
was
f o ca l 4*a n d
often lim ited to the central to two or three times their
lobular norm al
area sir.c
whe with
re groups of cells were clear pink homogeneous
s wc yoItlole n
plasm The hyperplasia was associated with the same cells and appeared
ACH 00 36 1C
o o c 413
cQ i O T c S T
c 63
to be *n extension of the hypertrophic lesion. The hyperplistic cells
were ilso usually hypertrophic. The m ost severe examples of hyperplasia
appeared as nodular growths with lim ited com pression of the surrounding
normal hepatic tissue.
->
The minor lesions of degeneration, hepatitis, ductule
cell proliferation, necrosis and focal lymphoid infiltration seen in the
control anim als and the T-I and T -II grouos are lesions of soontaneous
disease and are not related to the A roclor 1254. This level of liver disease
is not unusual in rats of this age.
Hyperplasia of the transitional epithelium was p resen t
in the urinary bladder of animals from the control group and each of the
test groups. This lesion was usually associated with cystitis. The m ost
, ( . severe changes were associated with the presence of m ineralized calculi in the bladder lumen.
All of the other lesions in other tissues found in these ( anim als are related to spontaneous disease and they are not unusual for
old rats.

REPORT TO MONSANTO COMPANY TWO-YEAR CHINAROARNLOBICCILNOOORRRA1AL2T4T2SOXICITY WITH NOVEMBER 12, 1971
EBT NO. B7298
I. Introduction At the request of Monsanto Company, a tw o-year chronic oral
toxicity study was conducted using albino rats to determ ine the potential toxicity of A roclor 1242, Lot No. AK-255. The following report p resen ts
the results of this investigation.

IL Summary V A tw o-year chronic toxicity study w u conducted using albino rats
fed diets containing 1 (T-I), 10 (T-II) or 100 (T-III) ppm Aroclor 1242. Food consumption and body weight gains were not altered at any
t level of A roclor 1242 fed. The num ber of anim als dying and the time at which the deaths occurred did not vary iamong th test and control grouos. Hematological and clinical blood chem istry studies conducted after 3, 6, 9, 12, 18 or 24 months did not reveal any affects related to A roclor 1242. Urine analyses failed to reveal any differences between test and control animals. At sacrifice after 3, 6 or 12 months on te st, organ weights, organ to body weight and organ to brain weight ratios disclosed several
( random ly occurring intergroup differences. The lack of any consistent
dose related response and the absence of any deleterious histopathologic change confirm that these differences were not related to the ingestion of A ro clo r 1242.1
At the final sacrifice after 24 months on test, the liver weights and liv er to body weight or brain weight ratios w ere significantly elevated in fem ales from the T-I1I group. Histologic exam ination of the livers from the T-UI roup revealed several anim als with vacuolar change. This lesion is morphologically indicative of fatty degeneration. Specific fat stains confirmed the presence of fat in these vacuoles. Focal hypertrophy and focal hyperplasia were also found in the livers from anim als fed A roclor 1242.

III. Procedure
A. Experim ental Animals
The anim als employed in the test were Charles River strain *
albino ra ts . Four hundred rats (200 m ale and 200 fem ale) were selected
for the experim ent, ear-punched with the anim al number assigned and
housed individually in standard wire-bottomed steel rat cages. Each
cage bore a color-coded card identifying the r a t with respect to project
number, dietary level assignment, individual anim al number and sex.
B. Organization of Groups
A structural outline of the experim ent is given in Table I.

C. D iets, Feeding and Food Consumption A ll diets w ere prepared in the central diet room of this
laboratory. The basic ration from which all diets were constructed w as a standard, pulverized stock rat ration-. The diet for any given te s t group was prepared by blending the calculated amount of A roclor 1242 with a pre-w eighed portion of the stock ration in a Hobart m ixer.
Fresh diets were prepared each week and every rat was offered an amount of food sufficient for ad libitum feeding.
Food consumption was recorded for five rats of each sex in every group weekly for the first three months and m onthly for the next nine months. Thereafter, periodic spot checks were made.
D. Body Weights and Weight Cains Initially, the body weight of each rat in every group was deter*
m ined and recorded. Thereafter, individual weighings were made weekly fo r the firs t 13 weeks and monthly thereafter until the conclusion of the investigation.
E. M ortality and Reactions Checks for m ortality and abnormal behavioral reactions were
m ade daUy throughout the investigation. F. Hematologic Studies and Urine Analyses Blood studies, including determinations of hemoglobin concentra-
tion, hem atocrit value, erythrocyte count and both total and differential

leukocyte counts, w ere conducted upon five m ales and five females from b oth the control and 100 ppm groups.
U rine analyses for the presence of glucose, /albumin, m ic ro scopic elem ents, and determ inations of pH and specific gravity were con ducted upon urine sam ples at the same time intervals and from the same anim als as those employed for the blood studies.
These studies w ere conducted after 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 month of feeding.
C. Clinical Blood Chem istry Studies D eterm inations of blood urea nitrogen concentration (BUN),
serum alkaline phosphatase activity (SAP), fasted blood glucose concen tration and serum glutam ic-pyruvic transam inase activity (SCPT) were ( conducted a fte r 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 m onths of feeding upon the sam e ra ts as were the routine blood studies.
H. Pathologic Studies When an anim al succumbed during the test period, a gross autops;
w as perform ed. In those cases when postm ortem autolysis was not ad vanced, representative tissues were taken and preserved in ten percent form alin solution for possible future histopathologic study. . A fter 3, 6, and 12 m onths of testing, five anim als of each sex from each group w ere sacrificed and subjected to complete gross pathologi exam inations.

A btolute organ weights were recorded and organ to body weight
v and organ to brain weight ratios computed. The following organs were
included: liver, kidneys, spleen, gonads, heart and brain. These data w ere then subjected to statistical analysis. An A nalysis of Variance was
C conducted first and significant effects disclosed by that treatm ent were
further studied by " f'-te sts. Complete m icroscopic examinations were conducted upon the
tissu e s and organs from all control and 100 ppm group rats sa c rifice d a fte r 3, 6, or 12 months of testing. The following tissues and organs w er included in the exam inations: heart, trachea, lungs, liver, pancreas, m esophagus, stomach, sm all intestine (duodenum, jejunum and ileum ), i caecum , colon, spleen, lymph nodes, kidneys, urinary bladder? gonads, prostate gland, seminal vesicles, uterus, pituitary gland, adrenal glands, salivary glands, thyroid gland, parathyroid glands, skeletal m uscle, sternum , bone, peripheral nerve, spinal cord and brain (cerebrum , cerebellum and pons).
The aforementioned tissues were prepared and stained with Hem atoxylin-Eosin stain.
A fter two years of feeding, all surviving anim als were sacrificed and subjected to complete gross pathologic exam ination.
The absolute weights of the liver, kidneys, spleen, gonads, heart and brain were recorded immediately after sacrifice.

T. Pathologic Studies
1. Three-M onth Sacrifice
j
a. G ross Pathologic Findings
Gross pathologic findings among test animals were not
significantly different from those noted in control anim als.
b. Organ Weight and Ratio Data
The mean organ weight and ratio data collected at the
three-m onth sacrifice are presented in Tables XIII through XVIII. *
Statistically significant differences are designated by I asterisks following the test group value.
Organ weights, organ to body weight and organ to b rain
weight ratios disclosed several randomly occurring intergroup differences
The lack of any consistent dose related response and the absence of any
deleterious histopathologic change confirm that these differences were
not related to the ingestion of A roclor 1242.

solute organ w eights, organ to body weight and organ to brain weight
ratios are sum m arized in Tables XXI through XXVI.
Organ weights, organ to body weight and organ to brain
weight ratios disclosed several randomly occurring intergroup differences.
The lack of any consistent dose related response and the absence of any
deleterious histopathologic change confirm that these differences were
not related to the ingestion of A roclor 1242.

Gross pathologic findings among test animals were not significantly different from those noted in control anim als.
b. Organ Weight and Ratio Data The mean organ weight and ratio data collected at the
final sacrifice are presented in Tables XXXVII through XL!I. Statistically significant differences are designated by asterisks following the test group value.
The absolute liver weight and liver to body or brain weigh ratio s w ere significantly evaluated in fem ale ra ts fed 100 ppm A roclor 1242. S tatistical evaluations of other organ weights, organ to body weight and orga .to brain weight ratios disclosed several randomly occurring intergroup dif ferences. The lack of any consistent dose related response indicates that these differences w ere not related to the ingestion of A roclor 1242.

Significant liver injury was found in animals fed 100 pp:
A ro clo r 1242 (T<-UI). The compound associated lesions consisted of
vacuolar change, focal hypertrophy and focal hyperplasia. In addition, tl
were lesions of inflammation, necrosis, fibrosis and minor degeneration
this group which, although seen in the controls and lower test groups, we
m ore severe and frequent in the T-III group.
The vacuolar change was not seen in the control animals
but was observed occasionally in liv er from T -I (1 ppm) and T -II (10 ppm)
anim als. The vacuolar change was observed frequently in the T-III anima
This lesion is morphologically indicative of fatty degeneration. Form alin
frozen sections of livers from representative anim als which displayed
vacu olar changes were stained with Oil Red O to reveal the presence of fa:
The vacuolar lesion in the cytoplasm of these cells was positively identifie
as fat.
The hypertrophic change found in the liver was focal and
often lim ited to the central lobular area where groups of cells were swolle
to two or three tim es their norm al size with clear pin* homogeneous cytop
ACM OCJb'JS
ooc 502
The hyperplasia was associated with the same cells and appeared to be . extension of the hypertrophic lesion. The hyperplastic cells were also usually hypertrophic. The most severe examples of hyperplasia appear, as nodular growths with limited compression of the surrounding normal hepatic tissue.
The minor lesions of degeneration, hepatitis, ductule c proliferation, necrosis and focal lymphoid infiltration seen in the control animals and the T-1 and T-II groups are lesions of spontaneous disease a are not related to the Aroclor 1242. This level of liver disease is not unusual in old animals.
Hyperplasia of the transitional epithelium was present in the u rin a ry bladder of animals from the control group and from each of the test groups. This lesion was usually associated with cystitis.
All of the other lesions in the other tissues found in the animals are related to spontaneous disease and they are not unusual for rats of this age.
