Actions of agonists, fipronil and ivermectin on the predominant in vivo splice and edit variant (RDLbd, I/V) of the Drosophila GABA receptor expressed in Xenopus laevis oocytes. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Ionotropic GABA receptors are the targets for several classes of insecticides. One of the most widely-studied insect GABA receptors is RDL (resistance to dieldrin), originally isolated from Drosophila melanogaster.

Microbial Degradation of Aldrin and Dieldrin: Mechanisms and Biochemical Pathways
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022 As members of the organochlorine group of insecticides, aldrin and dieldrin are effective at protecting agriculture from insect pests. However, because of excessive use and a long half-life, they have contributed to the major pollution of the water/soil ...

The effects of acute toxicity of dieldrin on HeLa Cell Line: An In Vitro assessment
International Journal of Environmental Health Engineering, 2023 Aim: Among environmental pollutants, there is a great concern about organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) due to their environmental persistence, accumulation in the food chain, detection in breast milk, and their ability to accumulate in adipose tissues. Due
