Earlier studies have shown that polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB) do not prevent ovulation, fertilization and implantation, but exposure of female mink during gestation caused fetal death. To understand this phenomenon, 30 PCB-exposed female mink and 30 controls were mated or induced to ovulate withou
