  <dc:description>&lt;div id="aep-abstract-sec-id1"&gt;&lt;p&gt;1. The indocyanine green dye clearance test for hepatic function was determined in mallard ducks before and during the chronic ingestion (7 months) of representative paraffinic or aromatic petroleum hydrocarbons (PH).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;2. No mortality or visible symptoms of toxicity occurred in any of the tests. Ingestion of 4000 ppm aromatic PH produced significant increases in liver (25%), plasma clearance of indocyanine green (33%) and hepatic blood flow (30%).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;3. Although the aromatics elicited a greater hepatic stress response than the paraffins, the ducks tolerated high concentrations of PH for extended periods.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</dc:description>
