Differential Estrogenic Effects of the Persistent Organochlorine Pesticides Dieldrin, Endosulfan, and Lindane in Primary Neuronal Cultures [PDF]
Toxicological Sciences, 2011 The organochlorine chemicals endosulfan, dieldrin, and ghexachlorocyclohexane (lindane) are persistent pesticides to which people are exposed mainly via diet. Their antagonism of the g-aminobutyric acid-A (GABAA) receptor makes them convulsants. They

Developmental exposure to the Parkinson's disease-associated organochlorine pesticide dieldrin alters dopamine neurotransmission in α-synuclein pre-formed fibril (PFF)-injected mice. [PDF]
Toxicol Sci, 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 ...

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

Developmental and lactational exposure to dieldrin alters mammary tumorigenesis in Her2/neu transgenic mice. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2009 Breast cancer is the most common cancer in Western women and while its precise etiology is unknown, environmental factors are thought to play a role. The organochlorine pesticide dieldrin is a persistent environmental toxicant thought to increase the ...

Occurrence and distribution of the cyclodiene-type organochlorine pesticides in soils of Vojvodina province, Serbia [PDF]
Journal of the Serbian Chemical Society, 2016 Aldrin, endrin and dieldrin are highly toxic and persistent cyclodiene-type organochlorine pesticides. Although these compounds have been banned over the last few decades in many countries, they can still be found in the environment, especially ...

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.

Transcriptional Profiles for Glutamate Transporters Reveal Differences Between Organophosphates but Similarities with Unrelated Neurotoxicants [PDF]
, 2010 The developmental neurotoxicity of organophosphates involves mechanisms other than their shared property as cholinesterase inhibitors, among which are excitotoxicity and oxidative stress.
