Environmental Risk Factors for Parkinson's Disease: A Critical Review and Policy Implications. [PDF]

Mov Disord
Abstract The age‐standardized prevalence of Parkinson's disease (PD) has increased substantially over the years and is expected to increase further. This emphasizes the need to identify modifiable risk factors of PD, which could form a logical entry point for the prevention of PD. The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended reducing exposure to

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 ...

Environmental neurotoxin dieldrin induces apoptosis via caspase-3-dependent proteolytic activation of protein kinase C delta (PKCdelta): Implications for neurodegeneration in Parkinson's disease

Molecular Brain, 2008
Background In previous work, we investigated dieldrin cytotoxicity and signaling cell death mechanisms in dopaminergic PC12 cells. Dieldrin has been reported to be one of the environmental factors correlated with Parkinson's disease and may selectively ...

Developmental exposure to the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin causes male-specific exacerbation of α-synuclein-preformed fibril-induced toxicity and motor deficits

Neurobiology of Disease, 2020
Human and animal studies have shown that exposure to the organochlorine pesticide dieldrin is associated with increased risk of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Phenotypic and transcriptomic effects of developmental exposure to nanomolar levels of pesticides in zebrafish

Environmental Advances, 2022
This study investigates the pesticides atrazine, chlorpyrifos, and dieldrin for endocrine disrupting, phenotypic, and neurobehavioral effects. Zebrafish embryos were exposed to various environmentally relevant concentrations of pesticides during two ...

Mobility of organochlorines in muscle of sardine (Sardina pilchardus) during spawning in the Portuguese coas

Ciencias Marinas, 2006
 Concentrations of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), p,p'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) and metabolites, and dieldrin were determined in muscle tissues of female and male sardines (Sardina pilchardus) obtained between February 2000 and January ...

Phospholipid synthetic and turnover pathways elicited upon exposure to different xenobiotics

AIMS Molecular Science, 2020
Phospholipids, neutral lipids and glycolipids metabolism take the place during cell responses to different stimuli. Phospholipase and acyl glycerol lipase activities have been demonstrated to release second messengers that trigger cascade responses ...

Absorption and Toxicity of Dieldrin

Experimental Biology and Medicine, 1952
Conclusions1. Dieldrin produced chronic toxicity in rabbits when it was applied once a week at 70 mg/kilo body weight. Less than 30 mg/kilo produced no symptoms. 2.

Study of Dieldrin in Coralville Reservoir

Undergraduate Journal of Mathematical Modeling: One + Two, 2013
Using existing experimental data taken over a period of roughly 12 years that documents the concentrations of dieldrin levels in the environment and fatty tissue of the fish, we construct a model of the total dieldrin concentration decline.
