Developmental exposure to the Parkinson’s disease-associated organochlorine pesticide dieldrin alters dopamine neurotransmission in α-synuclein pre-formed fibril (PFF)-injected mice

bioRxiv, 2023
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common movement disorder and one of the fastest-growing neurological diseases worldwide. This increase outpaces the rate of aging and is most rapid in recently industrialized areas, suggesting the role of ...

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 ...

Determination of Median Lethal Concentration (LC50) for Endosulfan, Heptachlor and Dieldrin Pesticides to African Catfish, Clarias gariepinus and Their Impact on Its Behavioral Patterns and Histopathological Responses

Toxics, 2021
Pesticides such as endosulfan, heptachlor and dieldrin persist in aquatic environments as a result of their resistance to biodegradation. However, there is no adequate information about the toxicity of endosulfan, heptachlor and dieldrin to the aquatic ...

Functional Pathway Identification with CRISPR/Cas9 Genome Wide Gene Disruption in Human Dopaminergic Neuronal Cells Following Chronic Treatment with Dieldrin.

Toxicological Sciences, 2020
Organochlorine pesticides, once widely used, are extremely persistent and bio-accumulative in the environment. Epidemiological studies have implicated that environmental exposure to organochlorine pesticides including dieldrin is a risk factor for the ...

Modeling desorption kinetics of a persistent organic pollutant from field aged sediment using a bi-disperse particle size distribution [PDF]

, 2010
Purpose With the predicted climate change, it is expected that the chances of river flooding increase. During flood events, sediments will resuspend and when sediments are polluted, contaminants can be transferred to the surrounding water.

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]

, 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.

Developmental Dieldrin Exposure Alters DNA Methylation at Genes Related to Dopaminergic Neuron Development and Parkinson’s Disease in Mouse Midbrain

bioRxiv, 2018
Human and animal studies have shown that exposure to the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin is associated with increased risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
