Experiment

Examine effect of maternal DDT exposure on energy expenditure in
temperature-challenged female mice.
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 (15) whose mothers were treated with either Vehicle (oil)
or DDT (1.7mg/kg, po,14 days) had their energy expenditure assessed by high
resolution indirect calorimetry while subjected to a range of environmental
temperatures (12, 18, 24, 28, 30, 32, 34 and 36°C) as well as core body
temperature measured by IP implanted temperature recorder.
