| Popis: | Adult hen pheasants (Phasianus cotchicus) that received 16 capsules each containing 50 mg of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), Aroclor 1254, once a weel and those given sevenl capsules each containing 50 mg of PCB at 3.5-day intervals, were alternately starved for 2 or 3 days and then fed for 2 days. Conuls treated similarly lived longer than birds treated with PCB. Brain residues of PCB in treated birds were considerably higher (highest > 240 ppm) in birds stressed by starvation when com- pared with PCB-treated birds that were not starved (highest 24 ppm). Stresses at cause loss of weight can be dangerous to birds having a body burden of PCB.
