[Effect of organochlorine pesticides on the ocular electric response of the white mouse].
The injection of DDT or HCH resulted in a decrease of the amplitude of b-wave of electroretinograms without any modification of its latency, whereas a-wave remained unchanged. In conclusion, we may say that organochlorous pesticides do not act on photoreceptors or synapses, but they act only on bipolar and ganglionnar neurones.
