645produce a similar toxicity in the rat.A reduction in the level of dietary fat to 0.5% decreased the toxicity of DDT in both species; when the diet contained 15% of fat, the symptoms of toxicity were aggravated. Several different types of fat were essentially equal in aggravating the toxicity.On a low protein diet (10%) the toxicity of DDT was increased somewhat; whereas on a high protein diet (30%) the effects were variable.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
