PROBLEMS IN AERIAL APPLICATION: I. SOME BIOCHEMICAL EFFECTS OF LINDANE AND DIELDRIN ON VERTEBRATES

Abstract

Chronic exposure to the chlorinated hydrocarbon, lindane, elicited alterations in several biochemical values of rat tissues. These included rihonucleic acid and desoxyribonucleic acid quantities, water content, and the cytochrome oxidase activity of heart sarcosomes. The clorinated hydrocarbon, dieldrin, produced changes in the uptake of L-methionine by the particulate components of chick heart and liver cells. The specific alterations and the implications of these alterations are presented in the text.
