Administration of 1 .mu.g/kg (single i.p. injection and studied after 10 days) of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) to young male guinea pigs caused a significant reduction in binding of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) to its receptor on the hepatic plasma membrane. This reduction in LDL binding was not caused by the decrease of food intake by treated animals since pair-fed control animals had significantly higher LDL binding than treated animals. Primary hepatocytes from treated animals had a reduced ability to internalize LDL than controls. Such a change in the plasma membrane function may explain the resulting hyperlipidemia particularly hypercholesterolemia which occurred as a result of TCDD administration.
