Medical - Medical: Health Care / terminology - | | Portuguese term or phrase: congêneres (in the context) | Could someone advise me the most apt translation of congêneres in this context please?
I was going to put something like participant, but that does not make sense, and I would like to use an alternative word to "congeneres" too!

Este estudo analisou os níveis de cinco congêneres de PCBs indicadores (28, 52, 138, 153 e 180) em amostras de soro de cordão umbilical de 11 recém nascidos |

Explanation:
"Congeners" is it—it's the correct chemical term. I presume PCBs are polychlorinated biphenyls? "Analogues" is a related term, but the precise meaning is quite different.
