“…In body fat, DDT accounted for 50% of these insecticides stored; DDD accounted for 10 to 16%. Similar differences in the distribution of DDD and DDT in liver and perirenal fat were reported by Ottoboni and Ferguson (1969) when rats were fed a diet containing 20 ppm of technical DDT. In the carcasses of weanlings the relative proportions of these products were intermediate between those in body fat and livers.…”
From weaning, four generations of male and female rats were fed diets containing different fats and a mixture of DDT, DDE, DDD, dieldrin, lindane, BHC, heptachlor epoxide, methoxychlor, and Perthane. DDT, DDD, DDE, and dieldrin

“…Recently, Ottoboni and Ferguson ( 1969) showed that rats receiving 20 p.p.m. of DDT had DDT concentrations in milk lipids 5-10 times higher than in the feed, and the concentration in the milk decreased as the lactation period progressed.…”

“…maintenance of rats on 20 p..p.m. DDT does not affect growth. food consumption, or Peed efficiency and this level was also used by Ottoboni and Ferguson (1969) in st~adies 0x1 the excretion of DD'I' compounds in milk. The vitamin A activity in the ground cubes was derived from both carotene (4000 /$-carotene/kg) and preformed vitamin A (2000 ,ug/kg).…”
The feeding of a nutritionally adequate stock diet containing 20 p.p.m. p,p′-DDT to rats for three generations demonstrated that this pesticide decreased liver stores of vitamin A in weanling rats. The lower vitamin A levels were not modified in successive generations of weanlings. The DDT effect was not apparent in the dams at maturity. Possible public health implications are discussed.
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.
