Circulating levels of p,p'-DDE are related to prevalent hypertension in the elderly

Environmental Research, 2014
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and dioxin given to experimental animals increase the blood pressure. We therefore investigated if circulating levels of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) were related to hypertension in a population-based sample of men and women.One thousand and sixteen subjects aged 70 years were investigated in the Prospective ...

Levels of p , p ′-DDE in Liver of Predatory Birds from Calabria, Italy

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 2002
In the present study, the levels of OCs in the liver of predatory birds were evaluated. Liver samples were collected from 80 birds (9 different species) found dead or dying in the territory of Calabria region of Southern Italy from 1993 to 1997. Collected data were compared to data already available regarding the OCs contamination in predatory birds ...

Structure of phenolic metabolites of p,p′-DDE in rat, wild seal and guillemot

Nature, 1975
WE recently described the isolation and characterisation of metabolites of polychlorinated biphenyls from field-collected samples, that is faeces from guillemots and seals1. In addition to the PCB metabolites—hydroxychlorobiphenyls—we unexpectedly found two compounds which after treatment with diazomethane gave mass spectra consistent with p,p′-DDE (1 ...

Association between environmental exposure to p, p′-DDE and lindane and semen quality

Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2014
Scientific concern exists about the toxic effect of dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (p, p'-DDE) and lindane on male infertility, and the mechanism underlying male reproductive toxicity of this pesticide remains unanswered. We investigated not only the possible association between the chlorinated pesticide levels and semen quality in nonoccupationally ...

Influence of plant–earthworm interactions on SOM chemistry and p,p′-DDE bioaccumulation

Chemosphere, 2011
Laboratory experiments assessed how bioaccumulation of weathered p,p'-DDE from soil and humic acid (HA) chemistry are affected by interactions between the plants Cucurbita pepo ssp. pepo and ssp. ovifera and the earthworms Eisenia fetida, Lumbricus terrestris, and Apporectodea caliginosa. Total organochlorine phytoextraction by ssp.

Effect of mycorrhizal fungi on the phytoextraction of weathered p,p-DDE by Cucurbita pepo

Journal of Hazardous Materials, 2006
Field experiments were conducted to assess the impact of inoculation with mycorrhizal fungi on the accumulation of weathered p,p'-DDE from soil by three cultivars of zucchini (Cucurbita pepo spp. pepo cv Costata Romanesco, Goldrush, Raven). Three commercially available mycorrhizal products (BioVam, Myco-Vam, INVAM) were inoculated into the root system ...

Concentrations of p,p′-DDE in plasma of nestling Wood Storks from Georgia

Chemosphere, 2007
We determined the concentrations of organochlorine pesticides and total PCBs in plasma of nestling Wood Storks (Mycteria americana) from two colonies in Georgia in 2000. Of 20 compounds analyzed for, only p,p'-DDE was quantified in reportable concentrations, ranging from

Is p,p-DDE still affecting Baltic Sea cormorants?

2007
No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.During a cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo sinensis) population control campaign in May 2005, eggs were collected from a ground-breeding colony on the small island Heuwiese (N 54°25’, E 13°7’) at the Baltic Sea shore of Western Pomerania, Germany. The hatching status of all eggs was scaled

Consequences of in ovo exposure to p,p′-DDE on reproductive development and function in Japanese quail

Hormones and Behavior, 2008
This study was conduced to assess the effects of a one time embryonic exposure to p,p'-DDE (dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene; DDE) on the reproductive development and function in Japanese quail (Coturnix japonica). Embryos were exposed at day one of incubation to either 20 or 40 microg DDE or a sesame oil vehicle control (injection volume=20 microl ...
