The tissue distribution and toxicokinetics of PCB-77 after a single s.c. dose of 6 mg/kg body weight was investigated in male adult rats as well as the concurrent induction of hepatic drug-metabolizing enzymes. During five days after treatment, the PCB-77 concentrations on fat weight basis in testis and in whole blood were found to be about in the same range as the concentrations in adipose tissue, whereas in liver fat PCB-77 accumulated. EROD and MROD activities were induced by about 8 and 4 times, respectively, during a period of two weeks after treatment. Concentrations in adipose tissue and in liver as well as the hepatic enzyme activities rapidly declined during the investigation period of eight weeks. An elimination half-life for PCB-77 of approximately 7-9 days was estimated.
