MRNA expression changes in chicken livers associated with field exposure to DDTs in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa

ABSTRACT: Free-range chickens were sampled from homesteads in South Africa where DDT is sprayed for malaria control. The purpose was to detect potential effects associated with contamination. Livers were sampled post-mortem & analysed for DDTs (DDT and metabolites) contamination. Samples from two birds were further processed by microarray analysis – one with a relatively low (1,116.0 ng/g wet weight; sample SA1) and one with a relatively high (1,938.0 ng/g wet weight; sample SA2) level of contamination by DDTs.
