Abstract
Forty-two male rats were injected with a single intraperitoneal dose of TCDD in acetone and corn oil and sacrificed after 2, 4, 8, 16, 24, and 32 weeks, to study the long-term effects of a single injection. The liver lesions become progressively worse up to the 16th week and appear thereafter to slowly regress.
