Metabolism of PCB 95 by pHLMs results in the formation
of hydroxylated
metabolites (analyzed as methylated derivatives), with para-hydroxylated
metabolites being the major metabolites. (A) Metabolism scheme showing
the chemical structure and abbreviations of PCB 95 metabolites (only
one atropisomer is shown for clarity reasons). Gas chromatograms of
(B) PCB 95 metabolite standards and (C) metabolites formed in an incubation
with pHLMs (50 μM PCB 95, 90 min, 37 °C, 0.3 mg/mL protein,
and 1 mM NADPH). (D) Relative formation rates of OH-PCB metabolites
(relative peak area/nmol P450/min ×102) in incubations
with pHLMs and single donor HLMs (H1 to H5). Data are the mean ±
standard deviation, n = 3.
