PCB52 and its hydroxylated metabolites were extracted from tissues,
serum, and cecum and intestinal content using a published protocol;40 (link),41 (link) see the Supporting Information. Briefly,
PCB52 and its metabolites were extracted from homogenates by liquid–liquid
extraction and cleaned by solid-phase extraction with acidified silica
gel. PCB52 and metabolites were quantified in the multiple reaction
monitoring setting (MRM) on an Agilent 7890 A GC system equipped with
an Agilent 7000 Triple Quad and Agilent 7693 autosampler (Agilent
Technologies, Santa Clara, CA); see the Supporting Information.
