2,2',4',6'-tetrachlorobiphenyl-4-ol [Supplementary Concept]
impairs the secretory function of ovarian steroidogenic cells; structure in first source
Date introduced: December 6, 2015
Polychlorinated Biphenyls
Industrial products consisting of a mixture of chlorinated biphenyl congeners and isomers. These compounds are highly lipophilic and tend to accumulate in fat stores of animals. Many of these compounds are considered toxic and potential environmental pollutants.
Year introduced: 1992
Organic Chemicals
A broad class of substances containing carbon and its derivatives. Many of these chemicals will frequently contain hydrogen with or without oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorus, and other elements. They exist in either carbon chain or carbon ring form.
Year introduced: 1998
Hydrocarbons, Halogenated
Hydrocarbon compounds with one or more HYDROGEN atoms substituted with HALOGENS.
Year introduced: 1966
Hydrocarbons, Cyclic
Organic compounds composed exclusively of carbon and hydrogen forming a closed ring that may be either alicyclic or aromatic.
Hydrocarbons, Chlorinated
Hydrocarbon compounds with one or more of the hydrogens replaced by CHLORINE.
Year introduced: 1974
Hydrocarbons, Aromatic
Organic compounds containing carbon and hydrogen in the form of an unsaturated, usually hexagonal ring structure. The compounds can be single ring, or double, triple, or multiple fused rings.
Hydrocarbons
Organic compounds that primarily contain carbon and hydrogen atoms with the carbon atoms forming a linear or circular structure.
Biphenyl Compounds
Whitish aromatic crystalline organic compounds made up of two conjoined BENZENE rings.
Benzene Derivatives
Organic compounds derived from BENZENE.
Year introduced: 1968
Dioxins and Dioxin-like Compounds
