Lipid abnormalities in workers exposed to dioxin

J V Martin. Br J Ind Med. 1984 May.

Abstract

Ten years after an incident in which workers were exposed to tetrachlorodibenzodioxin (TCDD) a controlled biochemical study showed statistically significant increases in the serum cholesterol and triglyceride concentrations of workers both with and without chloracne. Urinary excretion of D-glucaric acid was significantly higher for all workers.
