Effects of thyroidectomy on the storage of organochlorine insectisides

Abstract
Rats submitted to p,p′-DDT at 200 ppm in drinking water showed increased p, p′-DDT storage which was not statistically different from that of thyroidectomized rats receiving p, p′-DDT. Rats receiving p, p′-DDT also showed increased fat storage of total o, p′-DDT and Dieldrin and decreased total BHC storage.
