Ddt and Its Metabolites (dde, Ddd)

Breast Cancer and Pesticide DDT, DDE

The original DDT bibliography was developed and posted 8.08.96 by Suzanne M. Snedeker, Ph.D BCERF Research Project Leader. Selected sections were updated by Erica Allgyer in the spring of '00 as a part of an undergraduate independent study project. Other sections were updated in October and November of 2000, and February of 2001 by Dr. Snedeker and Michael Marshall, undergraduate Research Assis...

DDT/DDE and breast cancer: a meta-analysis.

The biological basis for investigating dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) exposure and breast cancer risk stems from in vitro and animal studies indicating that DDT has estrogenic properties. The objective of this study was to update a meta-analysis from 2004 which found no association between dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene (DDE) and breast cancer. We searched PubMed and Web of Science for...

DDT, DDE and DDD in human milk from South Africa.

Human breast milk samples (n=30) were collected from mothers within the age range of 19-40 years from Thohoyandou area, South Africa. DDT and its metabolites were extracted from the milk samples using diethyl ether. The crude extracts were subjected to column chromatography. The eluates were then evaporated on a stream of nitrogen up to 0.5 mL. One microliter of the cleaned extracts were inject...
