Representative plots of absorbance changes elicited by increasing concentrations of (+)-, (-)- or (±)-PCB 136 with rat hepatic microsomes (3 separate experiments for PB, DEX and CO, single experiment for MC). Increasing amounts of PCB were added separately to 1 mL sample cuvettes containing hepatic microsomes at 4 nmol P450/mL prepared from MC- (A), PB- (B), DEX- (C), and CO-treated (D) rats. Difference spectra were recorded and ΔA values calculated as described in Experimental Procedures.
