o,p'-DDE

• UNSPSC Description:

  o,p'-DDE (2,4-Dichlorodiphenyldichloroethylene) is a metabolite and degradation product of the organochlorine pesticide DDT. It accumulates in smallmouth buffalo, channel catfish, and largemouth bass, and in sediments from DDT manufacturing plants around the Huntsville Spring Branch-Indian Creek tributary system, where it is considered a persistent organic pollutant (POP). o,p'-DDE inhibits estrogen binding to the rainbow trout estrogen receptor (rtER) with an IC50 value of 3.2 μM. It induces concentration-dependent estradiol secretion in co-cultures of granulosa and theca cells isolated from porcine follicles. In ovo exposure to o,p'-DDE increases follicular degeneration and reduces testis size in Japanese medaka (O. latipes).
