dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethylene and Parkinson Disease

dichlorodiphenyl dichloroethylene has been researched along with Parkinson Disease in 1 studies

Dichlorodiphenyl Dichloroethylene: An organochlorine pesticide, it is the ethylene metabolite of DDT.

Parkinson Disease: A progressive, degenerative neurologic disease characterized by a TREMOR that is maximal at rest, retropulsion (i.e. a tendency to fall backwards), rigidity, stooped posture, slowness of voluntary movements, and a masklike facial expression. Pathologic features include loss of melanin containing neurons in the substantia nigra and other pigmented nuclei of the brainstem. LEWY BODIES are present in the substantia nigra and locus coeruleus but may also be found in a related condition (LEWY BODY DISEASE, DIFFUSE) characterized by dementia in combination with varying degrees of parkinsonism.

"Dieldrin (HEOD) was higher in PD brain than in AD or control brain, while 1,1'-(2,2-dichloroethenyl diene)-bis(4-chlorobenzene) (p,p-DDE) and total Aroclor-matched polychlorinated biphenyls (matched PCBs) were only higher in PD substantia nigra when these concentrations were compared with those of CLBD."1.31Organochlorine insecticides in substantia nigra in Parkinson's disease.
