| Abstract |
A biochemical study of 95 workers with past exposure to tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD), of whom 41 had been diagnosed as having chloracne, and of 120 controls. There was significant increase in serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations in the exposed group, and there was also higher excretion of D-glucaric acid. Protein-corrected calcium levels were significantly lower in the exposed group with chloracne. There were no significant changes in HDL cholesterol, gammaglutamyl transferase and bilirubin levels among the exposed group. |
