Experiment

Effect of Maternal DDT exposure on baseline energy expenditure
Summary Data Summary
Investigator La Merrill, Michele
Description While less of a problem in the USA, exposure to the pesticide
4,4'-dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane (DDT) due to environmental contamination
and in regions where DDT continues to be used extensively for malaria control,
or were born prior to its ban elsewhere is still a major health concern. The
goal of this study is to understand the possible contribution of DDT to
metabolic syndrome.

Female C57BL/6J mice whose mothers were treated with either Vehicle (oil) or DDT
(1.7mg/kg, po, 14 days) were assessed for baseline energy expenditure by
indirect calorimetry, body composition by DEXA, and core body temperature
measured by IP implanted temperature recorder.
