Gene environment interaction in preterm delivery with special reference to organochlorine pesticide: a case control study.
OBJECTIVES To assess the Gene-Environmental interaction between maternal organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) level and CYP17 gene polymorphism with the risk of preterm delivery (PTD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Maternal blood samples of hundred cases (n = 100) of PTD and of equal number of healthy controls were collected at the time of delivery.

متن کاملOrganochlorine pesticides exposure & preterm birth
occurs before 37 wk gestational age. In USA, the preterm delivery rate is 12-13 per cent; in Europe and other developed countries, reported rates are generally 5-9 per cent 1. PTB accounts for 75 per cent of perinatal mortality and it is the leading direct cause of prenatal and neonatal death, resulting in 3.1 million newborn deaths annually. Half of preterm infants have longterm morbidity such...
متن کاملOrganochlorine pesticides in gallstones.
A method is described for the determination of organochlorine pesticide residues in human gallstones. The difficulty caused by the presence of large amounts of cholesterol in the stones is overcome by an acetylation step in the “clean-up” procedure, and the method finishes with identification and determination of the individual pesticides by gas-liquid chromatography. Results are given for 28 s...
متن کاملOrganochlorine pesticides in danish milk
Introduction Organochlorine pesticides and PCB congeners are persistent organic compounds found in the environment. Because of their stability and tendency to accumulate in fat they can enter the food chain and therefore be found in cow milk. As these chemicals are banned in most countries, it is expected that the compounds can still be found in cow milk due to environmental contamination of th...
متن کاملWhat Are Organochlorine Pesticides?
Pesticides are a group of chemicals made for the purpose of killing or otherwise deterring “pest” species. The word pesticide may refer to insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, or other pest control formulations. Pesticides are inherently toxic and often associated with adverse health effects in non-target organisms.1 Organochlorine pesticides are a large class of multipurpose chlorinated hydro...
