The effects of increased body burdens of lead on lindane and dieldrin toxicity

Creator:

Cress, Charles Raymond, 1942-

Abstract:

The entire human population is chronically exposed to various contaminants, including lead and chlorinated hydrocarbon pesticides. Studies were undertaken to assess the effects of chronic exposure to lead on the toxicities of two such pesticides, lindane and dieldrin. Mice were given lead as the acetate in drinking water, at levels...

Potentiation of acute carbon tetrachloride hepatotoxicity by dietary exposure to chlorophenothane (DDT) in rats

Creator:

Koeferl, Michael Tallyn

Abstract:

There has been no toxicologic proof that the long-term, low-level exposure of man to chlorophenothane (DDT) is linked with an increased susceptibility to toxicity or disease. Acute pretreatment of rats with 75-100 mg/kg DDT has been demonstrated to potentiate CCI₄-induced hepatotoxicity in that species (McLean and McLean, 1966). Since the...
