Abstract:
The hepatic biotransformation of aldrin (AD) and dieldrin (DD) was studied in liver post-mitochondrial supernatants (S-9s) from laying hens, female cattle and swine. S-9s were incubated with 0.03 nmol of AD or DD for 1 h. After 1 h, AD in the samples was almost epoxidated to DD. This formation was found with all the animal S-9s, and the highest rates occurred in pig S-9 (P < 0.01), followed by cow and hen S-9s. No reduction of DD was found with any of the S-9s.
