Epoxidation of cyclodiene compounds by rat liver microsomes

Creator:: Wong, David Taiwai
Abstract:: Rat liver microsomes are shown to contain an enzyme system which converts the cyclodiene insecticides, aldrin, heptachlor and isodrin to their corresponding epoxides, dieldrin, heptachlor epoxide, and endrin. The microsomal fraction of 450 milligrams of liver from male rats epoxidates 80 percent of a 20 to 50 microgram aldrin substrate...
