Disease relevance of DDT

 

Psychiatry related information on DDT

  • Total DDT levels increased with age, even when controlled for other independent variables also significantly associated with DDT: race, sex, fish consumption, years of residence, socioeconomic status, alcohol consumption, and serum triglyceride levels [6].
  • EDA-imprinted sol-gels, deposited as films on glass microscope slides, were shown to quantitatively detect DDT in water to a limit-of-detection of 50 ppt with a response time of <60 s [7].
  • The basic diagnostic procedure included an environmental toxicology questionnaire, psychological tests, a 45 minute interview, a physical examination and standard biomonitoring for cadmium, mercury, lead, lindane, hexachlorobenzene, DDT, DDE, DDD, and pentachlorophenol and a salivary test for mercury released from amalgam [8].
  • These findings are discussed in relation to previous reports of the behavior of An. minimus s.l., particularly in light of suggestions that An. minimus s.l. has changed its feeding behavior in response to DDT spraying [9].
  • The relationship between the level of DDT in the milk and the mother's age, parity, dietary habits, and place of usual residence were studied [10].

Associations of DDT with chemical compounds

 

Physical interactions of DDT

  • The DDT isomers and metabolites that bound the hER in vitro triggered estrogen receptor-mediated transcription of the lacZ reporter gene in the yeast systems [30].
 

Regulatory relationships of DDT

  • PR mRNA expression in MCF-7 cells was up regulated after administration of COU and DDT, whereas treatment with BPA and OCT did not effect PR mRNA expression [21].
  • DDT and estradiol-induced ER-dependent transcriptional activation of estrogen response elements (EREs) in stably transfected MVLN cells, and ERE activation by low doses of DDT was increased by insulin [17].
  • Dietary estrogens not only failed to suppress DDT-induced Cdk2 activity, but were found to slightly increase enzyme activity [31].
 

Other interactions of DDT

  • Numerous studies have demonstrated that resistance of a variety of insects to several different insecticides, including DDT, has been attributed to the overexpression of theta-class GSTs as well as certain CYPs [32].
  • Environmental estrogens, such as the pesticides methoxychlor, endosulfan, dieldrin, DDT, and the plasticizer nonylphenol activate either PXR or both PXR and CAR [33].
  • Except for phytoestrogens, most of the tested chemicals (DDT and its metabolites, aldrin, alpha- and beta-endosulfan, toxaphen, trans-nonachlor) show higher affinities for hPR than for hERalpha, indicating that the interaction with the progesterone receptor could contribute to the endocrine-disrupting effects imputed to these chemicals [34].
  • The combination of DDT and deltamethrin resistance in two strains with normal GST and G6PD characteristics suggests that a kdr-type nerve insensitivity mechanism may be involved [35].
  • This study constitutes the first report on the identification of P450 genes in a fungus that are responsive to environmentally significant pollutant chemicals (PAHs, DDT, long-chain alkyl phenols) and lignin derivatives [36].
