Sažetak
The authors found a significantly higher level of DDT storage in the fatty tissue samples of men than in women (mean pp'DDE was 12.8 ppm and 10.2 ppm respectively). By comparing the excretion of organochlorine insecticides in the milk of breast-feeding mothers with their total daily DDT intake by food, they registered considerably greater quantities of pp'DDE eliminated than ingested. By excluding the nondietetic DDT intake the authors explain this phenomenon by hormonal factors i. e. by increased mobilization of the stored DDT metabolites during the lactation period. The lower DDT storage found in women may also reduce the mean residue values related to the general population.
