Long-chain chlorinated paraffins (LCCPs) exposure induces apoptosis in primary chicken embryo hepatocytes through oxidative stress by Haochu Deng, Yezi Taishi, Guoxia Wang, Yuebing Kong, Ruoting Zhang, Xin Zheng

“…Our findings indicate that the proliferation capacity of primary chicken embryo hepatocytes exposed to LCCPs at concentrations of 1, 10, and 100 μg/L was significantly diminished, with an observed arrest in the G0/G1 phase and a notable reduction in the proportion of cells in the G2/M phase. Additionally, we observed that LCCPs exposure markedly decreased the autophagy levels in primary chicken embryo hepatocytes while significantly increase the levels of apoptosis. …”
