PCB 128-induced ultrastructural lesions in the rat liver.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PCB 128 (2,2',3,3',4,4'-hexachlorobiphenyl) prepared in 4% corn oil and mixed in diets was given to weanling Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were placed in eight groups, each comprising 10 males or 10 females; each group received a diet that contained 0.05, 0.5 or 5 ppm PCB. Ten animals of each gender that served as the controls were given diets mixed with only corn oil. Thirteen weeks after the commencement of dosing, animals were euthanized and liver specimens were harvested and prepared for transmission electron microscopy. The architecture of the liver parenchymal cell was indistinguishable in the animals of the lowest concentration group from those in the controls. However, smooth endoplasmic reticulum profiles increased, and abnormal mitochondria were noted in the liver of rats, regardless of gender, from 0.5 and 5 ppm groups. Based on our previous work, PCB 128 is estimated to be equally toxic as PCB 153, another di-ortho substituted PCB congener.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
