Abstract
A jaw lesion reported in mink exposed to 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) and TCDD-like chemicals is considered a potential indicator of exposure to these chemicals. Many of the effects of TCDD-like chemicals are induced through interaction with the aryl hydrocarbon receptor. The present study indicates that mink dosed with β-naphthoflavone, which is an aryl hydrocarbon receptor ligand but not a TCDD-like chemical, also develop the lesion.
