 | The major hypothesis is that prior occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) results in decrements in the number of dopamine (DA) terminals in the basal ganglia determined by Beta-CIT SPECT imaging. Data collection is complete (a comprehensive questionnaire, examinations and SPECT imaging). PCBs and thyroid hormones have been measured in serum and bone lead has been determined. Results, obtained using -CIT SPECT imaging, demonstrate a significant negative relationship between current ... |

| The major hypothesis is that prior occupational exposure to polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) results in decrements in neuropsychological and neurological performance and the number of dopamine (DA) terminals in the basal ganglia determined by -CIT SPECT imaging. At the conclusion of data collection 241 former capacitor workers have completed neuropsychological and neurological examinations, a comprehensive questionnaire, a blood draw to measure serum PCB and thyroid hormone concentrations, and a non-invasive test ... |
